What makes it unlawful, is the report of the act with in the SoL. Now if what would normally be considered to be a rape is reported outside the SoL then it ceased to be an unlawful act.
That is what I was speaking to. Read my quote again. The reason for the Sol is that it far more likely that an alleged victim changed the rape status after 5 years...
Uninformed as well as heartless. What makes it illegal is not the reporting date, but the forcible natire of the violation.
Read more, post less, asshole.
