Dear Honorable Members of the House Judiciary Committee, Thank you for allowing us to submit testimony in support of SF 525, which will eliminate the criminal statutes of limitation (SOLs) for continuous sexual abuse of a child, and kidnapping and burglary of a child in the course of sexual abuse. This legislation reflects a better understanding of the complex nature of these specific crimes and will give victims greater opportunity to seek the justice they deserve. We have attached our full written testimony as a PDF. For more information about statute of limitations reform, visit childusa.org/sol/ or email infochildusa.org. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions regarding SOL reform or if we can be of assistance in any way on other child protection issues.
