So, Francis will be among parliamentarians who will be debating the merits and demerits of the proposed Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act which is a direct response to increases in sexual abuse of minors in Dominican society.
Francis is expected to argue that the increase in reported abuse could be due to "the apparent disintegration of the traditional families, westernization, secularization and consumerism have all contributed to what appears to be a growing disturbing trend among people's sexual activities".
He is of the view that the apparent increase in reported cases of sexual abuse may be due to the fact that "more persons are reporting what is perceived as sexual wrongs because of increased awareness, increased self-confidence and increase monitoring as a people."
FRANCES DID NOT ATTEND THE SITTING TO UR KNOWLEDGE.
