Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal abolishes the doctrine of limitations in two categories: sex offenses against minors (in all circumstances), and sex offenses committed under aggravating circumstances (also against adults). An indictment for these offenses will be filed only with the approval of the Attorney General. The proposal bases the argument on the psychological difficulties of sex-offense victims in filing a complaint, as well as on the severity of the harm and the long-term consequences for the victims.
