Loose Women 15/9/15: Gambaccini discusses 14 mths on bail follwing Met Police dropping its investigation for abuse

This is the full interview on this topic with Mr Gambaccini.

Mr Gambaccini is in fact incorrect about the Statute of Limitations on CSA crimes in New York following a question from Hilary Devey. For civil cases, New York requires people who allege they were abused as minors to come forward by age 23.

New York's statute-of-limitations laws have one of the shortest windows in the country for pursuing sexual-abuse complaints through the courts. They have become a flash point in a recent series of high-profile cases in private schools across the state, including Horace Mann in the Bronx, Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, Yeshiva University High School for Boys in Manhattan and Hackley School in Westchester.

All four schools have issued apologetic statements, and some have negotiated settlements with accusers, though the statute of limitations poses a big hurdle for people who want to file lawsuits.
