sex abuse

Survivors of sexual abuse are asking Michigan House lawmakers to take up bills they say would give people access to justice.

Mark Chapman, aged 51, accepted charges of sexual abuse of two boys beginning in 2000. The first charge carries 12 to 20 years in prison and the second brings 10 to 15 years.

A settlement for a class action lawsuit between the University of Michigan and a student was approved by a federal judge Wednesday. The university said the core of the settlement is establishing a team to address and prevent sexual misconduct.

A pair of bills that would reduce barriers for accusers of university doctors to sue the schools for sexual misconduct and extend the statute of limitations for sexual crimes will likely get a second hearing in a state House committee.
