AI Summary
This bill seeks to extend the statute of limitations for certain sex crimes in Massachusetts. It would allow indictments for specific sex offenses, such as rape, sexual assault, and child sexual abuse, to be filed at any time after the commission of the crime, rather than being subject to a time limit. The bill also includes provisions that require a licensed psychologist's support, legal representation for the victim, and the district attorney's approval before such claims can be filed. Additionally, it establishes a three-year retroactive window for victims to file these claims.
