US: How Black Boys Suffer Sexual Abuse in Silence
Vice – April 25, 2016
At issue in the allegations against Bambaataa is the statute of limitations in New York State. Despite its reputation as a center of liberal progressive politics, New York has the dubious distinction of having one of the most restrictive limitations on child sexual abuse — on par with that of Mississippi and Alabama.
