GUAM\u2014Senator Frank F. Blas, Jr. will be presented with petitions today in favor of his legislation that would lift all civil statute of limitations on cases involving child sexual abuse.
\nThe presentation by the group Silent No More will take place today, Thursday, Sept. 8th, at 10am in front of the Guam Legislature in Hag\u00e5t\u00f1a. Silent No More will be joined by members of the Concerned Catholics of Guam, the Laity Forward Movement and family members of the victims of sex abuse.
\nThe petitions contain more than 3,000 signatures of island residents who support Bill No. 326-33 (COR). Senator Blas authored the legislation in May of this year and the bill has been the subject of several public hearings. Senator Blas is hopeful that the bill will be placed on the agenda for this month\u2019s legislative session.
