Magee: Child Victims Act helps make survivors’ voices heard
Assemblyman Bill Magee issued the following statement in regard to the Child Victims Act:
“A victim of childhood sexual abuse should not be denied the opportunity to have their case heard in a court of law. It is a critical step for many on the long road to healing. I helped pass the Child Victims Act to help ensure more survivors can seek justice (A.5885-A). Coming forward can be a difficult uphill battle, but victims deserve time to cope – and support as they do. This measure not only helps survivors move forward with their lives, but also helps make our community safer by holding abusers accountable.”
