Thats your right.I dont think there should be a statue of limitations on crimes that involve deep emotional stress or PTSD. Not allowing the victims to come to grips with their experience before reporting it is wrong.Nope. This current crisis the Catholic church is dealing with is a great example. Should these pervert priests be let off the hook for raping children because it happened 40 years ago? Do you support these perverts because the claims were not immediately reported?Why should it be reported immediately?
Like every other crime...to preserve evidence including peoples memories - and to prevent the perpetrator from committing the same crime against some else.
Waiting 40 years then declaring a crime has been committed is disingenuine.
"Oh officer..my house was broken into and all my property stolen...40 years ago"!
They can't defend themselves, this came up because they want to be able to sue till 50 years of age, today this is nonsense, they should come forward right away or forever deal with it. Same with women today.
I have to disagree.
So if someone raped you and you mentally could not tolerate speaking to someone about it then you would have no problem that your rapist was running for mayor years later?
