Lets victims of child sexual abuse speak out and requires certain adults to report grooming.
This bill would let victims of child sexual abuse and grooming speak openly about what happened, even if they signed a nondisclosure agreement. It would also require certain trusted adults, like guardians or directors, to report grooming behavior to law enforcement. These changes aim to protect minors and hold fiduciaries accountable.
Today, some contracts can legally stop people from talking about sexual abuse or grooming of a minor. Also, there isn't a federal rule requiring fiduciaries to report grooming behavior. If this bill becomes law, any part of a contract that tries to silence victims or those supporting them about sexual abuse would be invalid, even for old contracts. Additionally, fiduciaries would be required to report grooming behavior to law enforcement, and victims could sue fiduciaries who fail to do so.
