The response and support I have received has been amazing.  People I haven't spoken to or seen in years are reaching out - even complete strangers offer their support!  The activity on the web-page has increased and continues to do so....so thank you for making power in numbers!  I learned this morning that the hearing schedule for the Judiciary Committee should be out by the end of the week.  I have not heard from them as to whether I can testify or not, but the time is approaching and I'm determined to make it happen!  I'll keep you posted.

My story will air on the Channel 4 news (WBZ-TV) tonight at 11PM.  Please tune in to watch.  They have been running previews all weekend long...very dramatic.  Joe told me I would be happy with it and I can already tell I will be from the preview alone.  Thanks again, Joe Shortsleeve and WBZ-TV for allowing me to tell my story.  I can only hope other victims will come forward so we can put an end to this nonsense once and for all.   

House Docket No. 481, Filed on 1/12/2009 , Presented by Ronald Mariano
House Bill No. 1523

My goal is to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee for House Bill 1523.  Sen. Morrissey has been kind enough to write Chairperson Creem on my behalf.  I have also written to the Committee with my views from the victims' standpoint as to why the statute of limitations should be abolished in the state of MA.   

I taped an interview with Joe Shortsleeve from Channel 4 News this past Friday!  Chief Majenski of the APD and State Senator Michael Morrissey also appeared to be interviewed regarding lifting the statute of limitations on reporting the crime of rape in MA.  I met with Joe in the Mt. Vernon Cemetery and we spoke of what happened to me and the impact it has had on my life.  This is tentatively scheduled to air Monday, April 27 at 11PM.  I'll keep you posted.
