In the 190th Session, the Legislature passed a sweeping criminal justice reform bill aimed at reducing recidivism and helping those who have been incarcerated to get back on their feet after release. Aspects of that law are currently being phased in across the Commonwealth. Since getting into office, I have made the prevention of child sexual abuse a legislative priority. This session, I filed three bills relative to preventing child sexual abuse and seeking justice for survivors. The first bill, which focuses on education and prevention, would require training for all mandated reporters on the signs of child sexual abuse and mechanisms for reporting. Children would also be provided with age-appropriate education. The bill also enhances screening protocols for hiring teachers and others working with children to ensure no one who has previously abused a child can find themselves in a situation to do so again. The other two bills focus on judicial recourse for those harmed by child sexual abuse, including making those who engage in teacher/student relationships civilly and criminally liable for their actions, and eliminating the statute of limitations for the crime of sexual abuse of a child.
