Removes the ten-year time period for the crime of persistent sexual abuse in New York.

This bill amends the penal law to remove the ten-year time period for the crime of persistent sexual abuse. Under the current law, a person is guilty of persistent sexual abuse if they commit certain sexual offenses and have been convicted two or more times within the previous ten years. The bill eliminates this time period, meaning that a person can be charged with persistent sexual abuse regardless of the time elapsed between convictions. The change takes effect on November 1 following the date the bill becomes law.
