I agree with this in that the reason for the limits is to protect the innocent, not to protect the criminal. But I don't agree that rape should have a limit. I can see instances where the evidence may be there years later.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
