In the state of Utah there is a law that protects child molesters. When a person is molested as a child and they become an adult and decide to deal with the horrible guilt and shame, they cannot prosecute the person who did this to them because our law makers protect them with a statue of limitations. There is a revolution taking place in the United States.
I too, intend to fight against this law..
In his parole hearing, my dad admitted to molesting me and my older sister (along with 13 other un-named victims). He was only charged with crimes of ONE VICTIM. This is because the statute of limitations had expired for the other victims that had come forward. The first victim came forward PRIOR to the time that charged crimes took place for which he was currently in prison, but the statute of limitations prevented any criminal action to prevent additional abuse.
I was 19 when I started to have extreme suicidal tendencies. Luckily, I was still under my mom's insurance. I got the best psychological care I could find. It came up that my parents were divorced because my dad had been molesting me. So I decided to give my dad a call and find out if he'd be willing to admit to me what he'd done. He did. He did it in a bragging sort of way and told me how he would molest while we were sleeping.
Then, I lived my life – scared to death that he would molest others. He assured me he was better. He assured my grandmother that God had forgiven him so he had to forgive himself.
Then, it came out that he had been molesting my little sister. She only told me because she didn't want her baby sister (my youngest baby sister) to be molested while alone with him on a trip.
He went to prison and did the programs required of him for the charges that were actually filed against him. He was released after a couple of years.
There are more charges that need to be applied by the other 13 victims. Please help us keep this and other dangerous child predators behind bars!! The only way we can do this is to abolish the statute of limitations for sexual predators. If Child Molestation is 2nd only to murder, then we must treat it as such.
