Bill Addresses Statute Of Limitations On Sex Crimes

(Salem, OR)  --  A bill assigned to a state Senate committee addresses the statute of limitations related to sex crimes in Oregon.  Senate Bill 1553 would allow victims to press charges even if the statute has expired, provided there's new evidence, such as DNA or videos, to support their claims.  A lobbyist for the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association told KATU-TV the measure would put an unfair burden on the accused, because they might not have access years later to evidence that could prove their innocence.
