How the fuck is there a statute of limitations for rape in New York?

[LadyForCamus]

Well, I've already explained to Nymph that I'm not in agreement with him over all the particulars regarding the side issues and diversions; there were countless, and I didn't catch them all. His somewhat inept attempts at clarifying his position, coupled with my complete willingness to assume the worst about him, made it all too easy for me to not listen to him. 

What I do believe, is that his actual intent was to illustrate how vital timely reporting is to the process, and to offer his own "unique" help/advice on how to recover. It's crystal clear to me, after re-reading much of thread and making a conscious effort to be objective, but that's just my personal takeaway. I don't expect that everyone will reach the same conclusion.

I reached the same conclusion.  And I believe he is genuine in his insistence that assaults need to be reported as soon as possible.  What I wasn't able to discern from his thoughts no matter how hard I tried is why he's so hung up on the use of the word, "rape" within a victim's internal dialogue.  I understand he is concerned about false accusations, and justifiably so.  But, acknowledging "I was raped" is only an acknowledgement of the act itself, not necessarily an accusation against any specific individual.  I don't get why that troubles him so deeply.  I think deep down there is a human person in Drich.  I think he had a human comment to make on this topic.  I just couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what it was.  

Have I ever mentioned that I've got a bad habit of giving people more credit than they probably deserve?
