Proposed Bill Removes Limitations on Sex Crimes Against Children

A bill in the Oregon House would remove the criminal statute of limitations on sex crimes against children, allowing prosecution regardless of how much time has passed since the attack. Randy Ellison of Ashland, a victim of sex abuse, hints at circumstances surrounding former Governor Neil Goldschmidt who was accused of abusing his a teen-aged baby-sitter back when Goldschmidt was Portland Mayor. Ellison says his attacker, a Boy Scout leader, abused other boys in his troop and also went unpunished. A similar bill just passed the Washington House without opposition. More public hearings will be held.
