3 Billboards for the Child Victims Act in New York State

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 23, 2018

Activist Kat Sullivan talks about her campaign, using billboards, to advocate that New York pass the Child Victims Act, which would extend the statute of limitations for cases and provide a one-year "lookback" period, where victims could file lawsuits against perpetrators or institutions in cases where the statute of limitations has expired. And Tom Travers, survivor and founder of Williams Place, a support group for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse in Buffalo, New York, tells his story of being abused by a Catholic priest in Buffalo, and how the CVA would help him.
