It would seem that like any other crime, there should be a statute of limitations applied. The way it is now, where politicians have extended
prosecution (persecution?) to a never ending threat.
By never ending, I am not even speaking of an actual crime. I and likely most anyone here have nothing to hide...but if we happen to rub some political group the wrong way, we could end up charged to a point where we could lose oiur freedom by false charges...when some paid operative brings up that supposedly happened, June 20, 1993 !
How does one defend themselves? ..Real witnesses would be hard to find..if they are still alive. Besides, how does a witness prove a negative...that the defendant did not do such and such....while politically lying witnesses, can claim anything..
I have talked to sensible women (those not emotionally driven)..and they say,....
" if the act was not egregious enough to charge at the time, how is it any worse 30 years later? On the other hand, some could be
intimidated..and hold off charging for some time..so a statute of limitations like most other crimes, is not unreasonable. On the other hand,
if this happened in a work setting and the 'victin' maintained their work relationship..just how horrific was it ?
e.g....the case used against judge Kavanaugh...the situation supposedly happened what..40 years ago, after a high school prom? The "victim'
could remember almost nothing of the incident, her witnesses for the most part denied the story. Yet some gave her credibility..why?
