Was reading the other week about the deposition made by a woman for a civil case who said she was raped at thirteen by our hero Donald Trump on the Huffington Post website, and it stated that the statute of limitations in rape cases in NY is five years. How the fuck is this possible, can anybody explain to me.
Over here, all indictable cases (which include rape) have no statute of limitations imposed. That means if the allegation is brought and the Gardaí and Director of Public Prosecutions feel the case is strong enough for trial the only way there's going to be no trial if a) the alleged perpetrator is dead, or b) the judge is satisfied that, after a lot of evidence is brought, usually including expert reports he commissions, the alleged perpetrator is incapable of defending themselves or of standing trial.
Seriously the situation is fucked up if there is a statute of limitiations on rape in the US.
