California is Set to Eliminate Arbitrary Child Sexual Abuse Statute of Limitations

California lawmakers are set to eliminate a statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases, making it easier for victims to come forward and pursue justice. The bill would allow victims of child sexual abuse up until age 28 to report crimes regardless of the age when the crime took place. Currently, there is no statute of limitations in California for committing child sexual abuse, but there is one for filing criminal charges against offenders.

The bill was introduced by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D) and has received support from everyone in the legislature except two Republicans who say they do not want children who were abused by religious organizations protected under this law because they could be subjected to false accusations based on religious beliefs not backed up by evidence,” said Giancarlo Thomae, a spokesperson for Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-48). “There will never be enough money or resources available to protect every vulnerable child in this state.”

The passage of this bill was spurred by widespread outrage after it was revealed that George Frey, a serial child molester who went on to become a lawyer, had been able to avoid prosecution for his crimes because he claimed that his victim had consented at age 16 and 17 respectively.

Republicans have been pushing back against the bill, saying that it would allow “false claims” against religious organizations. In a statement released by Assemblyman Vince Fong, he said:

“The bill’s explicit intent is to protect children from abuse and prevent false claims against churches.”

Fong also argued that because this measure would allow victims of child sexual abuse until age 28 compared with the current statute of limitations which only allows victims to report up until age 26, “it creates more opportunities for false accusations.”
