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

[Pat Mustard]

You are the lowest form of low.

I'm half regretting opening up this thread. I'm sorry you had to go through the wall of shit Drich threw at you Judi.

[Joods]

Thanks Tazzy....

That motherfucker hit a new low. Reading that from him was on the same level as being violated all over again.

[thesummerqueen]

Fuck him.

[Joods]

I'm sorry folks...that shit hit me more than I thought it would. Other than the mafia game I'm committed to, I think it's just best if I leave for a while.

Generally I can deal with drippys vile ilk, but this time it's just too much for me to deal with.
People know how to reach me if they want.

Fuck. I'm sorry this happened, Nymphadora. No one deserves that.

@Drich, happy? Any other advice or 'helpful' judgements you want to dole out, you dumb motherfucker?

[Divinity]

You know, I get the feeling that DRich isn't just a rape apologist. He's probably a rapist too. Fucker sounds like a complete scumbag.

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.

Here's a thought...

IF it takes a woman or man waits 5 years to report a rape... it wasn't.

If someone drills you in the can and you seriously did not want to be drilled in the can, then why wait over 5 years to report it?

It is far more likely that alleged 'victim' seeks or see to further benefit from said can drilling by changing their consent status. After all how can one prove consent? Now how can one prove consent after such a long time? oh, that's right they don't say anything for more than 5 years.

So how does NY have a statute of limitations on rape? Because at one time the state law makers had a modicum of common sense.

My cousin didn't tell anyone for ~15 years, if not longer, due to her rapist being my father, and knowing that with my disability and the various surgeries (43 at Children's Hospital, Boston) and other medical expenses that weren't we needed his paycheck*, especially since it was a family unit with 3 children (myself and my two older, non-disabled brothers).  Tread carefully, sport.

*I was actually used as an example for Katie Beckett/HCCSD (http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dfa/medical/children.htm) Medicaid coverage when the rules were being written, but when they were put in place I actually didn't qualify.  It took until I was ~13 years old to qualify, when they finally relaxed the rules.  So, even with my parents' insurance, they still had to pay a lot because I was having at least one surgery a year, and that included followup appointments, cast changes, leg braces retrofitting/rebuilding (I could walk with full-length leg braces that locked at the knee until I was 14), etc.

EDIT: Holy fuck, I didn't see what else fuck face wrote until now. And he has the nerve to consider himself moral. What a fucking joke of a human being.

[GrandizerII]

That's divine morality for you.

Um...wow.  There are many...MANY reasons women don't report assaults.  Shame.  Embarrassment.   Fear of not being believed.  Fear of being BLAMED.  Fear of the rape exam, which is just as painful and degrading as the assault its self. Fear of their attackers.  Fear for their LIVES if their attacker has threatened them not to tell, or threatened their families.  Fear that they will subject themselves to a lengthy, mortifying trial only to have their attacker get a slap on the wrist.  Fear of bullying/ridicule/scorn by the community, especially if the accused is well liked/well known.  The sick feeling of having to verbalize what was done to you over and over, which amounts to being violated all over again. And of course, all these reasons are magnified when the victim is a very young person.  The fact that you would even suggest such nonsense demonstrates that you either don't fully understand the nature of the crime of rape, or you don't take it seriously.


Do you think all 50 something of Bill Cosby's accusers are lying?  You are disgusting dude, Drippy.  But at least your consistently disgusting on all matters regarding empathy and the human condition.  Why did you have to shit all over this thread with your nastiness?  Go back into your hole, will ya?

[The Grand Nudger]

It's possible, that every single accuser in a mountain of accusers, is "lying".  Yes.  I don't think they are, but it's a poor demonstration of anything, and has no place setting our opinions on what should or shouldn't be so-and-so within our laws. Just to get this back onto sols and off drich's entirely predictable wretchedness.
