Vincent Perez: “This bill gives those family members six years to do it.”

“As if the woman who was violated has no standing in her own life. But the rapist's relatives can walk into a courtroom and collect a check for $100,000. In addition, This bill gives those family members six years to do it. Six years to drag her doctor, her counselor, or her friend into court. But under current Texas law, if a woman is raped, she only has five years to sue her attacker.” (02:39–02:44)
