Indiana sexual assault survivors advocate for statute of limitations elimination and a "bill of rights" for survivors.
Sexual assault survivors in Indiana are advocating for the elimination of the statute of limitations for certain sex crimes and the establishment of a "bill of rights" for survivors. Currently, most offenses have a five-year limit. Survivors, including Carissa Siekmann, shared their stories, emphasizing the need for justice. A previous bill to remove these limits passed the Senate but stalled in the House. Lawmakers are considering the issue amid concerns about potential legal implications.
