New York state senator accused of rape calls Adult Survivors Act unconstitutional

In spite of voting in favor of the Adult Survivors Act, New York Democratic state Sen. Kevin Parker called the legislation unconstitutional after being accused of rape last November.

The Adult Survivors Act, passed in May 2022, gave alleged victims of sexual assault who have passed the statutes of limitations a one-year period to file a civil suit. The time window for filing began on November 24, 2022, and ended a year later.
