Remove the statute of limitations for childhood sex abuse victims in Oregon

The Issue

  1. When a child is sexually abused it is traumatic and sometimes can take a lifetime to come to terms and speak out about the assault. There is no statute of limitations on the damage done to a child and therefore, I am requesting the State of Oregon remove it's statute of limitations on reporting sexual abuse.
