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

[Losty]

Ok...I waded through the pool of bile. I couldn't find any rule breaking. Unfortunately. I'm going to curl up some place dark and warm and tell myself this thread doesn't exist. Sorry I couldn't help

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.

There are a lot of reasons why women don't report being raped. It is not an uncommon thing at all. If there is enough evidence to support the rape years after it happened, I don't see why it can't be investigated and the criminal brought to justice.

You cannot possibly be serious.

There could be an unknown number of underlying reasons why someone doesn't report being raped for days, weeks, months or even YEARS. They include:

Threats from their rapist.

Blackmail.

Shame and guilt.

Being completely alone.
PTSD.

Feelings that no one will believe or understand them.

Depending on when the rape happened: No DNA evidence.

The list goes on and on.

These are very much uncalled for.

It isn't a joke to a lot of people, including Judi who was herself a victim.

What I don't get is why Drich was shaking his fists there?

[Thumpalumpacus]

And if by God's grace you live through a real event that genuinely made you a victim, it like you won life's get out of responsibility card.

You mean like how you're trying to avoid responsibility for your despicable behavior by citing your own hurtful experiences?

Yeah, fuck off. You exemplify the very worst aspects of your faith -- how it corrodes morals, how it makes humans hearltess.

"Do not send for whom the bell tolls ... it tolls for thee."

But I won't be a mourner. Good riddance to bad trash.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Your lack of self awareness is simply terrifying, dude.

With all due respect, it doesn't scare me. This worm inspires my contempt, not my fear.

[Thumpalumpacus]

This, so much this.

This fire ain't going out.

[Thumpalumpacus]

What if you just found out that one of your daughters was raped several years ago, but she didn't report it out of fear? What if it was past the SOL for your state? Based on YOUR reasoning and shit opinion, would you be so ignorant to tell her "Oh honey, you didn't report it within the SOL for our state, so, I'm sorry, but the trauma you think you went through, didn't really happen. Sorry for your loss. Just get over it and move on. Daddy loves you."  Yeah. I can actually envision you saying that. To your own child.

He beats them physically. Why not mentally and emotionally as well?

The only difference between this cunt and the WBC is that the WBC have the guts to stand behind their odious views with their real names. This cunt, on the other hand, needs the shelter of anonymity for his spewage.

I'll bet dollars against your doughnuts that he wouldn't have the nerve to say anything like this IRL. He knows where that road leads.

[Thumpalumpacus]

There are few things more despicable than a horrible human being who thinks he has the creator and supreme ruler of the cosmos on his side in everything that he says and does.

"With religion, good people will do good things and bad people will do bad things.

Without religion, good people will do good things and bad people will do bad things.

It takes religion to make good people do bad things."

Not that I think Drich is a good person. He clearly has a gravitational well of evil in his cold, black heart.

I have to say, I love the stark contrast Kingpin and C_L provide. Christians I'm happy to know.
