WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) — Since the start of the 2026 legislature, several laws introduced in Kansas aim to put a stop to child sex abuse and the tactics abusers use to perpetuate it — the latest being Trey’s Law.
Survivors of abuse say a lot of times the only way they can heal is by talking about what happened to them, but what happens when they legally can’t? Lawmakers like Representative Bob Lewis, a Garden City Republican, say that for years institutions have used non-disclosure agreements to protect their image and control survivors’ voices long after the abuse is handled quietly, but this bill would put a stop to that.
