This legal document argues that the 2003 amendment to the federal statute of limitations for child sexual abuse (18 U.S.C. § 3283) was expressly intended by Congress to apply retroactively to pre-enactment conduct. The document supports this claim by analyzing the text of the statute and citing legal precedent from the Second, Eighth, and Ninth Circuits, which have held that Congress intended to extend the time to bring charges for live claims.
