Randomly and temporarily changing statutory limitations for such a unique purpose is contrary to having them in the first place.
Molesters suck but have to side with courts on this one.
They could do this with any crime and make people defend themselves 20 years later.

Agree. Due process trumps all. In the majority opinion, the Court even acknowledged how horrible the underlying facts of these kinds of cases are, but noted that it was bound by the due process clause of the constitution:
"despite the sickening and despicable factual allegations in this case, we must conclude that La. R.S. 9:2800.9, as amended by the revival provisions, cannot be applied to revive plaintiffs' prescribed causes of action. To find otherwise would divest defendants of the vested right to plead prescription in violation of Art. I, Section 2 of the Louisiana Constitution."

Statutes of limitation exist for a reason, even for the most vile of crimes
