Happy Days are here again for people that believe in social justice and helping victims have their day in court. Governor Cuomo signed the Child Victims Act which allows victims to file a lawsuit before they reach the age of 55. It also beefs up criminal liability for the perps. Finally, it allows sexual abuse victims a new one year window to commence their lawsuit if they were already time barred because the statute of limitations had run out on their case.

Some people are advocating the shaming of the people and organizations that stood in the way of this historic legislation. Others say to look forward not back. It’s hard to say who has the right perspective really. The bottom line is that the law has been changed, and for the better. But why in the world did it take 10 years of intense fighting to achieve such a common sense goal. Why did the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts mount such a vigorous defense and spend so much money and energy trying to prevent people from having their day in court.

Just because someone alleges that a priest molested them, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. Let’s see the evidence and let the jurors decide. Nobody in their right mind can believe that if they evidence points to the guilt of the accused (beyond a reasonable doubt) that they shouldn’t be held accountable to the highest extent of the law? It’s like the old saying, if you’re innocent you have nothing to worry about. If a priest did molest a child, they should be thrown in jail and the church and insurance company should compensate the victim accordingly. I don’t care what your politics are, conservative or liberal or moderate. Who is against this principle? It boggles the mind.
