What the statue of limitations on rape?

 

Just for shits and giggles since we know POTUS isnt a rapist.

 

Many jurisdictions have a statute of limitations for ten years or less. California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Texas and Washington have a ten-year statute of limitations. Maine has an eight-year statute. North Dakota has a seven-year statute while Oregon, Vermont, Arkansas, New Hampshire and Hawaii have a six-year statute of limitations. Connecticut has a five-year statute and Florida has a four-year statute. Minnesota has the shortest statute of limitations of three years.

 

A few states have statutes of limitations that are longer than ten years in duration. For example, Pennsylvania has a twelve-year statute of limitations. Georgia, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. have fifteen-year statutes of limitations for some forms of rape. Ohio has a 20-year statute of limitation for rape.

 

For states that do have a statute of limitation for rape, many of them have an exception regarding DNA. For example, some states may have a general statute but then contain an exception if a match is found in the DNA database after the general statute runs.

 

There may be other applicable exceptions. For example, there may be longer statutes of limitations if a child under a certain age was the victim. Likewise, some states do not begin tolling the period for the statute if the suspect purposely avoids prosecution or resides in another state.

 

Many states do not have a statute of limitation in place for some forms of rape or all rape offenses. These states include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
