Wednesday’s Island Voices carried the important message of hope and support for survivors of child sex abuse (“Fresh Hope For Child Sex-Abuse Survivors,” Star-Advertiser, July 17). It should be noted that this year the Legislature also provided help for survivors of sexual abuse who are 18 and older by opening a two-year window of opportunity for civil claims arising from abuse of adults that occurred after June 30, 2012.

While limited in time, this is another step in the right direction.
