I am starting this petition to help people that have been through a traumatic experience. In the Kentucky Statue of Limitations on Sexual Assault, there are restrictions. That's right restrictions. In order for someone to actually be punished for sexual assault (without penetration, rape), it has to be reported within a certain time frame, and with stipulations on ages. Some people go through sexual assault situations and do not get the chance to tell someone "within the time frame", and are basically told that they have to just live with what happened. It is almost the feeling of being punished twice for the victim. There are circumstances which do not allow people to be open at the time of the incident.  Why should there be a limit?  There should not be. This needs to stop! I have never been open about things that have happened to me in the past, but I am finally getting my voice. I am not comfortable telling my story, but I am more uncomfortable with letting this stand. I am trying to take the negative in my life and get something positive not just for me, but for everyone and anyone that has been sexually assaulted or raped. I was sexually assaulted when I was 14/15. I did not know what to think of the situation, or how to handle it. My mind shut down and I froze when it was going on. I could not begin to process what was happening. I did not deserve it. Nobody does. I felt ashamed and embarrassed by what was happening even though I did nothing wrong. This was not my fault. I did not know what to do. I was scared. I was a kid.I can not begin to put into words the horror that I have had in my life from this situation.  It has affected me and my life in so many ways. The amount of damage is unbelievable. I hate that it has taken this long to get it out into the open. I have always felt like it was something I had done, and the truth is, it was not.  I did not ask for it, I did not want it to happen. Yes there are people who were raped and that is horrible and worse. I am glad that those people can get justice, but only to some extent do they get justice. I am proud to take my trauma and my voice, and put it out there to help everyone and anyone that has ever been sexually assaulted in any way.  Please sign this petition to help revise the Statue of Limitations on Sexual assault.There needs to be a change in the limitations, as in, there should be no limitation. Assault is assault and it should be punishable.  It is not acceptable for things like this to be made okay. Please help. Sign the petition to help give a voice to those who can't let theirs be heard, those who have the fear of letting their stories out. Let's make a difference.
