NATIONAL NEWS - The court on Tuesday heard an application from the so-called Frankel 8 who have alleged that stockbroker Sydney Frankel sexually abused them decades ago when they were children.
The applicants in the case believe that the law should not allow any sexual offender to avoid his day in court.
This would see Section 18 of the Criminal Procedure Act immediately be declared invalid and the 20-year time limit on prosecution for sexual assault lifted.
