NYS
First, in NYS all child rapes by clergy have been denied due to statutes of limitations. In some cases, victims have declared they were mentally ill which is why they took so long to come forward. The courts have denied each one.
I am asking if the courts did allow these victims to come forward, in other words had they been fair to the victims, could we charge these pedophiles criminally? Even though the victim might be 4o years old when they were able to come forward?
Thanks.
