WASHINGTON (BP) – A bill receiving bipartisan support to void nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) in cases related to child sexual abuse and trafficking was introduced in the U.S. Senate today.
Trey’s Law, brought forward by U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), would be a federalized version of Trey’s Act. It is named for Trey Carlock, who was a victim of sexual abuse at Kanakuk Kamps in Southwest Missouri and brought civil litigation against the camp following camp director Pete Newman’s guilty sentence of three life sentences.
