[...] children have not had the legal capacity until relatively recently to challenge their abusers.1 Second, the statutes of limitations for child sex abuse have been constructed in a way to make it virtually impossible for the vast majority of victims to get to a prosecutor and/or civil courts before their claims have expired.2 Third, as a society, we have tended to adopt a "romantic attitude" and trust most religious organizations, which gave them latitude to hide abuse.3 That changed in 2002 when the Boston Globe revealed that the Boston Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church had covered up horrendous abuse by serial pedophiles, including Father Paul Shanley and Father John Geoghan.4 While there had been trickles of information to the public before then,5 it was not until the larg...
