Summary

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that the 2003 PROTECT Act's amendment to § 3283 should be applied retroactively. The document asserts that Congress's intent was to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain child abuse offenses, even for conduct that occurred before the law was enacted, and therefore it applies to the conduct of an individual named Maxwell as charged in an indictment.
