It depends on when the molestation occurred because the laws and case laws have changed over time.  \n\nIf it occurred prior to around 1987 - not much can be done.  This is why some priests' convictions were overturned.  The court recently ruled that any changes to the Statue of Limitations (S.O.L.)for a crime can only be used for future crimes committed after the laws were changed and then the new S.O.L. applies.\n\nIf it occurred between 1987 and 1992 AND the victim was a child at the time of the molest (12 and younger) AND the abuse was significant (more than one time)AND no report to Law Enforcement was made - the S.O.L. is one year from the time it is now reported to the police.  (Look up 803(g)in the penal code)  \n\nIf the molest took place sfter 1992 on a child 12 and younger - there is none.

Search under RECIVIDISM, FBI CRIME STATISTICS and BUREAU OF PRISONS.\n\nI suspect you'll find your answer there.\n\n***********\nExercise care.\n\nI'm sure hlg567 *MEANS WELL* but her stats are BADLY skewed. At 70 years old and 350  victims - that would be 5 per year not 2. Also it WRONGLY ASSUMES that the molestor begins his molestations of others at AGE 1 - a complete impossibility.

Yes, there are statutes of limitations in Oregon, as well as every state in the union. In Oregon, there is no limit for murder, conpiraacy to commit murder, or any degree of manslaughter. Most felony sexual crimes are limited to 6 years or if the victim is under 18, until the child's 30th birthday or 12 years from the first report of the act to an official, whichever is sooner. Misdemeanor sexual crimes are limited to 4 years or the child's 22nd birthday or 4 years from the first notice. Arson is limited to 6 years. All other felonies are limited to 3 years, misdemeanors to 2, and violations to 6 months.\n\nThere are also several exceptions. If fraud is a material part of the offense, the limit is one year from the discovery of the offense. If the offense is committed in office by a public official, it is limited to 2 years from when the official leaves office. Also, rape is limited to 12 years if the attacker is identified by the basis of DNA evidence. In addition, the time does not run when the defendent is out of state or hides in the state to prevent being caught. In no event is the limit extended more than 3 years by any of these means.

California has a Victim Compensation Fund, www.boc.ca.gov/Victims \nThe perps may be required to pay restitution, but don't hold your breath.  Contact the DA's office to see what the progress of the criminal case is.  They are going to need your Dad as a witness.\nIt is possible that the entity operating the complex might be liable, although your question does not give me any ideas how.  If the responsible entity is a government entity, your father must file a claim with that entity within six months (180 days) of the incident.  If the responsible entity is not a government entity the deadline for filing a lawsuit is one year from the incident.  Seek legal advice as soon as possible.

It depends on the State and what type of crime you were a victim of.  For example - if you were  victim of sexual assault - you may have more time - but if it was a simple assault - you may only have one year.  In your example above - they most likely have a year - but a prosecuter is going to wonder why if they wait long to report it.  May only have a civil case after too long

Unfortunately, Nebraska (lived there for 6 years) is behind the times.  You cannot find out information online.  The best thing to do is to call the district attorney's office (or if you know who your friends lawyer is call them) and ask questions.  I had to do this for my stepson.\n\nGood luck

lalala, I too was molested as a child. Twice. Once at the tender age of 6 and once at the age of 11. Both times were by people known to the family. BUT. I am not a victim. I am a survivor. Megans Law is WRONG. It is denying Constitutional Rights to rehabilitated former sex offenders. It is not protecting anyone. The registries have never and will never protect a child. They are a false sense of security. A parents responsibility is to protect their child! Are you aware that little Megan Kanka, at the age of 7 was left outside for THREE HOURS with no parental supervision? Never was checked on! \n\nThe states inflate the numbers on the registries to get more federal funding. They create more sex crimes for the same reason. Do you realize that in some states, urinating in public is a sex offense and will put you on the registry? Did you realize that in some states, I will choose WI as I know the law there, if a teen couple is 16 and have consensual sex, they will arrest and charge both with sexual assault against the other? That makes them both a victim and an offender. WI is not the only state that does this. \n\nThere are many variables that you are not aware of. I have done my homework. I work with rehabilitated former sex offenders everyday. I do know what I am talking about.

The two posters are correct. In simple terms, a statute of limitations is a time limit for charges to be brought against you. When a warrant is filed, the DA has done just that, filed charges. Now the police can look for you for a long time. \n\nIn some rape and murder cases with no named suspects, the DA's have started filing warrants for the DNA profile of the suspect. Truely a great thing!\n\nLike the poster above me said, turn yourself in. Depending on what the charge is, it is possible to get cited (a ticket) and get assigned a court date.

I was molested by a cousin when I was 7 I didn't tell someone till I was 14. Please don't wait. These perverts could be out hurting other children. If you can't tell her write it in a diary and leave it in plain view. If you have kind of mother that's a little nosy, she'll read it and she will come to you. Or just write her a letter telling her what happened and how hard it was to tell her to her face. Getting these people off the street will help you feel better.

You didn't specify what state you are in.  If you are referring to California law, Section 288(c)(1) is part of California's statutory rape laws.  You can read the text of the law at the link below.

30 days generally.  More serious offenses can go up to 1 year.  That's NJ's statute of limitation.  It's about the same everywhere but vary from state to state.

depends on which state you live in, the statute of limitations in california on loan payments is 7 years i think, just find out if the statute of limitations passed allready where you live and if it didnt, pay thee 16 bucks and sue his ass. I hope the IOU has his signature on it.

Most laws can be found on the website for that particular state.  Go to   your state's website and look up legislation.  Go to ttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/ and look up California Law.  You will click on I think it is Family Code.  You can type in search words like custody and statute of limitations.  This should give you all of your answers and more.

Depends on the applicable state's statute of limitations. It varies from state to state.

Every state has their own, so research "Statute of Limitations."  You might be able to find out information on the web.  Good luck.
