Posted by Sandra On May - 5 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

DELAWARE MAY EXTEND STATUE OF LIMITATIONS…

The latest attempt to extend the time frame victims have to report abuse is a direct response to the case against a Lewes pediatrician accused of sexually abusing more than 100 young patients.

Members of the State House approved HB 326 earlier this week in a 36 to 2 vote.  The measure would create a two year window for victims of child abuse at the hand of a health care provider to file civil lawsuits against the abuser.

Speaking out for the first time since his arrest, Roman Polanski yesterday said prosecutors only want to serve him “on a platter to the media.”

Polanski, who is under house arrest in his Alpine Swiss chalet (above), condemned the United States’ effort to extradite him over a 33-year-old sex-assault arrest, laying out his case for an online magazine run by one of his staunchest supporters, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy.

Vatican orders overhaul in Mexico after investigation of sexual abuse

The pope will appoint a commission to oversee the ‘purification’ of the Legion of Christ order.

Mexican priest Marcial Maciel

The Vatican on Saturday ordered the overhaul of one of the Catholic Church’s largest and most influential organizations following an investigation into decades of sexual abuse by the group’s founder and systematic efforts to cover it up.

Mexican-born Father Marcial Maciel engaged in “very serious and objectively immoral behavior,” the Vatican said — including fathering at least one child and sexually molesting boys and seminarians. The abuse dates to the 1950s and continued into the 1990s.
