Illinois House passes bill that would protect victims who sue for sexual abuse
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Illinois State House of Representatives on Thursday approved legislation spurred by CBS 2's story of a woman who said she was sexually abused by a teacher at her Chicago Public Schools high school.HB222 would make it clear that sexual assault on students is traumatic. It also includes language that prevents defendants from blaming child sexual abuse survivors in civil lawsuits.The Illinois House passed the bill unanimously Thursday.
Doe spoke exclusively with CBS 2 the week her case was set to go to trial about her experience in high school some 20 years ago. This was after hearing what a CPS-paid defense expert witness testified to in a recent deposition, and might have said in court had the case not been settled.The hired expert was Dr. Prudence Gourguechon, a licensed psychiatrist in Illinois.
