It simply ceases to be enforceable . . . to some degree. You're just kind of making that up. Also, the reason for the statute of limitations is that it gets harder to prove and is thus a drain on resources. It has nothing to do with the likelihood that a woman changed "rape status" after five years. If she was raped five years ago, it's still rape. If she wasn't raped five years ago, odds are she's not going to stir the pot five years down the line. It's a rare case indeed where someone pretends to be raped years after the fact. Why wouldn't she just claim she was raped two weeks ago?Is Rape Not a Criminal act? Are Criminal acts and illegal synonyms?
If so let's define criminal act:
A Criminal act is an act committed by a person that violates a law and which is punishable by the government. Criminal acts are offenses against the public which are punishable.
So if an offense is not punishable then then it is not a criminal act, it is not illegal.
rape is only rape if it is reported with in the SOL. out side of the SOL it ceases to be prosecutable.
What exactly am I make up?
