It took 13 years for the New York State Legislature to pass the Child Victim’s Act. Now that it has passed, what, exactly, does it do? Assemblywoman Bichotte and State Senator Biaggi talk us through the finer points of the Act: what does the expansion of the statute of limitations mean for filing criminal charges? What is “the look-back window” and how does it help survivors find justice? The bill covers anyone abused as a child, whether by a church, The Boy Scouts, a teacher, a family member or Jeffrey Epstein, and, with 500+ (and counting) lawsuits already filed since the bill passed, and hundreds, maybe thousands more expected, how will the court system handle the overload? Our guests will also address the opposition to the bill that helped keep it at bay for so long, like the Catholic Church, which spent more than $2 million lobbying to kill the bill. And they’ll have practical advice for survivors who may not have come forward yet, on how they can finally have a chance at justice.
