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

My state's (California) governor just signed a law 2 weeks ago ending the statute of limitation on prosecuting rape cases. There's been a big uproar over this since Bill Cosby's rapes became public.
I agree that it's ridiculous that there is a SOL on crimes like this but let's not forget that it wasn't too long ago that rapists' victims were often blamed for being raped...what was she wearing...why was she out after dark...she's a slut anyway...
So, baby steps, I suppose. It's progress, though.
