Kentucky House Tightens Sexual Abuse Law
The Kentucky House of Representatives approved legislation causing people in positions of authority over children to face felony charges for having sexual contact of any kind with anyone under the age of 18.
The bill increases the statute of limitations on criminal charges to five years after a victim's eighteenth birthday, and, ups the penalty for those not reporting abuse to the proper authorities.
