Currently, 39 states still have a Statute of Limitation on sexual assault cases, whether it's against an adult or a child. According to The National Center for Victims of Crime, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of sexual assault. The traumatic experience doesn't fade away; it follows victims into adulthood. Please sign this petition in order to take a step in furthering the notion to end all Statute of Limitations in regards to sexual assault.

its about time this changed. why do victims have to carry the burden their whole life while the person who did it walks free? this needs to stop now.

I appreciate you doing this and I hope this turns into something big. Rethinking the statute is going to be hard but worth it
