At present the U.K has a preposterous Rule that Cases of CSA can only be brought within three years of the Victim turning 18.
This time limit meant that many Cases did not go to Court, as the poor Victims did not feel able to talk about their ordeals at that age. The time limit of 3 years will be removed, at last, as was recommended by The Independent Inquiry in to CSA back in 2022.
Kim Harrison, president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, said the three-year deadline was "wholly inappropriate".
"It will now be the burden of defendants to prove that the passage of time has created an unfair trial, rather than on the victim or survivor to prove a fair trial is possible," she said.
J.W. Paedophiles will now be brought to Justice. Those filthy bastards will quake in their boots when they find out !
Last month, the government confirmed it would introduce a Mandatory Reporting Duty for those working with children to report sexual abuse as part of the Crime and Policing Bill.
Criminal sanctions will be introduced for both the concealment of, and failure to report, child sexual abuse.
