Sexual abuse victims ask for more time to report
By Gayle Osterberg
TOPEKA - Four child abuse survivors told lawmakers yesterday that victims of abuse need extra time to report the crime because the recovery process can be lengthy.
Kansan staff writer
The child abuse legislation would change the time period within which prosecution of a child abuse crime is allowed. The legislation would allow victims three years to report the crime, and the time period would not start until after the victim became aware of the abuse. Present Kansas law starts the period for prosecution at the time the abuse occurred.
The Senate Judiciary Committee began two days of hearings on a six-bill package dealing with sex offenders.
like peeling the skin off an onion, one layer of memory at a time. It is a very slow process. It is very painful.
Speakers suggested the three-year time period might not be long enough because of the emotional trauma and fear that victims encounter after they realize they have been abused.
Pat Miller, Seattles resident, said she had been sexually abused by her father and four brothers when the family lived in Kansas.
"I was not able to deal with these memories until I was an adult," she said. "Discovery is a process, much
"You don't want to believe it really happened because it is just too awful."
Miller said the healing process was what made the three-year time period important.
"It takes time to heal, to work through all the memories and to prepare for confrontation," she said.
Miller said that she had no way to bring her abusers to trial because current law limited the time period for reporting abuses crimes.
Survivors have the right to decide whether to take their abusers to court, she said, but under the current law, she doesn't have that choice.
All four victims said their abuse had had a long-term effect on their lives, both financially and emotionally.
Miller said she had suffered from alcoholism and insomnia because of the abuse.
Cindy Leibengood, who said she was sexually abused by her father for eight years, said she had suffered from allergies, arthritis, heart palpitations and migraine headaches.
*People around me think I am the
healthiest, most organized person they know," Leibengood said. "I have learned how to hide these things well, just as I have learned to hide what my father did to me."
Leibengood said that the abuse had influenced her entire life and that limitations on reporting the crimes should be removed.
In addition to the child abuse bill, the sex-offender package includes bills that would:
- Provide a process for evaluating sexually violent offenders who might repeat their crimes.
Provide for treatment of mentally ill persons who are likely to commit sex crimes.
Require supervision and treatment by mental health professionals for sex offenders.
Eliminate the spousal defense in certain crimes.
The sixth bill of the package is a proposal by KU student Jean Winter, Emporia senior, that has not been introduced.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, who heads the committee, said hearings would continue today.
Israeli consul: Know history to understand Mideast strife
By Shelly Solon
Kansan staff writer
A representative from the Israeli consulate yesterday encouraged students not to make judgments about the Arab-Israeli conflict before studying it.
Ofra B-Yaaco, a consul for Israel in Chicago, spoke to an international relations class, a media and minorities class, and a propaganda and censorship class. KU Hillel sponsored her visit.
Ben-Yaacov said that media coverage of the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians could be unbalanced.
helpless, and the Israelis are the stronger, bigger Goliath."
"You can't judge only today," she said. "You can't judge without the background, which many young American people don't have."
"It's like David vs. Goliath," she said. "The Palestinians are seen as David who have no weapons and are
Ben-Yaacov said that people worldwide perceived the situation as a powerful Israel against the weaker Palestinians.

Ofra Ben-Yaacov consul for Israel in Chicago
Ben-Yaacov said that Israelis,however, wanted to work for peace.
"We have to achieve peace at our border like the U. S. has with Canada," she said. "We want to talk about withdrawal from the territories and making borders."
However, she said that the delegates were arrested because of involvement terrorist activities.
Israeli government recently arrested two delegates to the peace conference in the Middle East, the Israelis appeared not to want peace.
Ben-Yaacov said that because the
Ghassan El-Khatib, Lawrence sophomore, said that media coverage was not standing in the way of relations but that Israel was.
"Everyone is blaming each other for not working for peace," said El-Khatib, who is Palestinian. "We are all coming at this from different ways."
Samuel Adams, associate professor of journalism, teaches courses in propaganda and censorship and in media and minorities.
He said that Israel was like any other country that was concerned about its image.
"In my class, we look at dominance vs. subordination," Adams said. "In Israel, Israel is dominant, and the Palestinians are in the minority. But in other places and in other ways, Jews are in the minority."
