Abuse - Ohel's view of Markey bill


Ohel

A PROPOSED STRATEGY TO REFORMS IN SEXUAL ABUSE LEGISLATION
By David Mandel, CEO of OHEL

KEY POINTS

● OHEL see’s importance in both Lopez and Markey Bills and suggests a possible compromise.

● OHEL is not in agreement with some of the positions taken by certain organizations who oppose “the window” provision.

● While OHEL suggests a one year amnesty, we believe a one year window should be instituted thereafter.

● OHEL suggests a one year amnesty from civil claims with required risk assessment, treatment and some form of probation and monitoring. Certainly no amnesty from any criminal proceedings.
