SENATORS BEALL AND LARA FIGHT FOR LEGISLATION
TO GIVE JUSTICE TO VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE
SACRAMENTO – Survivors of childhood molestation will join Senators Jim Beall and Ricardo Lara at a Tuesday news conference to voice their support for SB 131, legislation that extends the statute of limitations for victims to file lawsuits against their abusers.
If SB 131 is approved and signed into law, it would eliminate the statute of limitations for actions that occur after Jan. 1, 2014. The bill contains a retroactivity clause for some categories of cases prior to Jan. 1.
Beall, D-San Jose, is SB 131’s principal author and Lara, D-Long Beach, and Assemblymember Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, are both co-authors.
WHAT: Justice for Victims of Childhood Sex Abuse
WHEN: 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 16
WHERE: State Capitol, Room 112
WHO: Senators Beall and Lara
Charmaine Carnes, Anne Malver, and Monica Lenches recall the abuse they suffered as children at a gymnastics club and the problems they face as adults in seeking justice.
Chris Schrader, now in his 50s, still struggles with the physical and psychological trauma that had been inflicted on him as a boy by an abuser.
Jancy Thompson hoped to become an Olympic swimmer when she was 15 until her life was made extraordinarily difficult by the alleged predatory sexual behavior of her coach.
Irwin Zalkin is a respected attorney from San Diego who specializes in sexual abuse cases and will address technical questions about the bill.
