Lakialoite laiksi rikoslain 8 luvun 1 §:n muuttamisesta

Stage otherUpdated 3d ago

This legislative initiative proposes changes to the Finnish Criminal Code regarding the statute of limitations for sexual offences. The goal is to ensure that victims, particularly children, have a longer window of time to report crimes and seek justice, reflecting the fact that such traumas often take years to process. This change primarily affects the legal process for prosecuting sexual crimes. It would allow prosecutors to bring charges in cases that would currently be considered expired under existing law.
