Hurley Bill Aims At Child Rapists

MILLVILLE - Sen. James R. Hurley, RCumberland. Cape May, reported Ikst week that he has introduced legislation designed to allow more effective psqsecution of child rapists. Hurley's bill mandates that a child or mentally incompetent individual who is the victim of sexual assault will no longer have to remember the exact date the offense took place. "A RECENT court decision unfairly allowed a man to go free after allegedly raping a 7-year-old Cumberland County girl on several different occasions.'' Hurley said. "Because the child could not remember the specific dates she was raped, the alleged rapist was allowed to slip through the judicial system." The judge s decision was subsequently upheld by the appellate court.

"It is unreasonable to expect a child or someone who is mentally handicapped to recall the exact times he was abused," Hurley said. "Rape is an extremely traumatic ' experience. "TO EXPECT even adults to recall the exact dates of such horrible moments in their lives is unfair." he said. "I was contacted by many local residents who were outraged over the result of the trial involving that Cumberland County girl." Hurley said. "The mothers who spoke with me are terrified that other rape cases will be tossed out of the coui ts because of similar 'technicalities' " Hurley said the Legislature must do all within its power to protect children from sexual abuse and prosecute those guilty of these acts
