(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington state lawmakers are considering legislation that would eliminate the statute of limitations for certain sex crimes.  The measure, sponsored by Mason County Representative Dan Griffey, would apply to felony sex offenses, such as child rape and molestation.  Griffey says the bill has a personal motive behind it, as his wife was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of a relative for years starting when she was eight years old.  The bill has cleared the House and is awaiting action in the Senate.
