Law to protect children against sex crimes moves forward in Bolivia

La Paz, Aug 18 (Prensa Latina) A bill establishing the imprescriptibility of sexual crimes against children and teenagers will be submitted on Friday to the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies.

The President of the Constitution Committee Juan Jose Jauregui claimed that the proposed legislation was approved and is confident that it will be scheduled and dealt with in plenary session by the legislative body next week.

According to Jauregui, the text was approved in a session attended by the Minister of Justice Ivan Lima in order to explain the content of the legal initiative sent by President Luis Arce.

This document was drafted in response to multiple sexual crimes committed by Catholic priests and uncovered after the publication of the diary of the pedophile priest Alfonso Pedrajas (alias Pica), a deceased Jesuit.
