Pennsylvania ‘lookback’ bill for child sexual assault survivors again stalled

Law would open two-year window for child sexual abuse victims to file lawsuits beyond statute of limitations

Child sexual assault survivors in Pennsylvania are on the verge of being denied the opportunity to sue their attackers after a bill to temporarily waive filing deadlines stalled again in the state's legislature.

Democrats have accused the Republican senate majority of playing politics with the bipartisan move to amend the state constitution and open a two-year window for victims to file molestation claims from years ago.
