In an effort to provide a reasonable alternative to civil lawsuits in child sex abuse cases, Rep. Paul Schemel is sponsoring legislation that would uncover the truth and compensate victims. His proposal would create a “Truth and Restoration Commission” to hear testimony from victims and institutions responsible for the abuse. The state commission would then financially compensate victims from a funding pool supported by contributions from those institutions.
