On June 30, 2009, I testified in front of the Judiciary Committee on behalf of
House Bill 1523. This bill will eliminate the statute of limitations on reporting the crime of rape in the state of
MA for anyone under the age of 18. While I still don't approve of the limitation at age 18, I will accept any victory
which gets our society one step closer to removing these sexual predators from our streets. Our court system is the entity to determine whether a crime committed has enough evidence to
be prosecuted, it is NOT up to our LEGISLATION to do so. A heinous, vicious and brutal crime has been committed and
our children have the right to report the crime when their own life calls for it.
