ALBANY - With just a week left in the legislative session, Gov. Cuomo
on Wednesday introduced for the first time his own Child Victims Act
bill.
The bill, obtained by the Daily News, mirrors the one passed by the Assembly last week.
"This is about justice and I urge this measure to be passed before the
end of session and allow these victims the ability to hold their abusers
accountable — something they've wrongly been denied for far too long,”
Cuomo said.
The move won praise from many of the victims who have been fighting for the issue for more than a decade.
“I applaud Governor Cuomo's strong leadership and his commitment to
justice and the safety of children,” said Kathryn Robb, who was one of
the survivors and advocates who have been working with the governor’s
staff in recent months. “He is, to my mind, the justice governor.”
