Justice delayed - again - for victims of childhood sexual abuse

In Harrisburg, they are taking a new tack in the battle to deliver justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse.

It now looks like once again a serious push is being made to eliminate the statute of limitations for such crimes, as well as expanding to window a victim has to bring civil action against their molester.

These are important changes.

But that will only apply to future cases.

For the scores of victims of decades-old abuse - often at the hands of some of the most trusted people in their lives - the push to get them their day in court now seems to be taking a detour.

Call it justice delayed.

Again.

We talked about it on Sunday's editorial page.
