Reps. Kristin Boggs (D-Columbus), Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington), Jessica Miranda (D-Forest Park) and Tavia Galonski (D-Akron) will hold a press conference with advocates to call for the elimination of the civil and criminal statutes of limitations for rape and sexual violence.

The lawmakers will specifically discuss HB 266, which would eliminate the criminal statute of limitations for rape, extend the period of limitations for civil action by a victim of sexual abuse, and eliminate the spousal exception for rape, as well as HB 199, which would remove the cap on damages for certain violent crimes, including rape.
