No the state law in 2022 opened up the option to bring these cases forward although they had happened long before

So strangely no statute of limitations

Is this civil or criminal ?

Criminal I can actually see - remember capital crimes (murder) generally have no SOL - so equating sexual assault/rape to murder as a criminal matter makes sense.

Civil - it makes ZERO sense.

Keep in mind criminal has the higher threshold of establishing guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the state were to charge someone 20+ years later - they are taking a HUGE burden of evidence and opening themselves up to a malicious prosecution claim if they don’t have a ton of evidence (DNA likely. - and given it’s evolving nature makes sense why the rules could be amended).

Civil - Google says 10 years - still a stretch, but better than 34.

If the law was amended in 2022 though - wouldn’t this not be applicable as the crime occurred BEFORE the change was made ?

Wow, this is a very harsh comment, Minny. Don't generalize; remember where you literally came from.
Harsh is digging up shit from 40 years ago, going public, suing a guy because he won't give you money.

The suit wants money, she wants to be paid for the sex they had 40 years ago.

If getting paid for sex or exporting payment for sex doesn't make her a whore, IDK what does?

Of course the "sisterhood" says you must believe her.

Fukk her

No defending the chick here.
No defending all the girls w OF pages
No defending all the girls on Seeking
No defending all the single moms
No defending the gold diggers in their 40s & 50s

Society went soft on women in the 70s 80s and 90s, now they're gonna get what they got "cumming" to them.

They're all gonna be used as we men please, and life out life single & sad. Highlight of their day will be feeding the cats while they wait for us to "call them back" 😆 🤣 😂

Might have already been mentioned here but this definitely seems to be a civil suit and not criminal??

Wonder why he didn’t just pay her off to keep this from coming out if he’s not denying it??

Guessing he’s simply not paying her off out of one or both of the following:

- Not being financially secure enough to pay the asking price
- Knowing it will not be an easy case for the accuser or her attorney to make. The accuser of course likely has nothing to sue for if found to be bringing a frivolous case but her representation likely does. The potential for a case of libel seems real here making these claims after decades seems real.

They likely were angling for exactly that and got their bluff called. Now the accuser is trying to salvage something by going public with the case and trying to spin a narrative. They settle now it will of course include a non-disclosure/no comment agreement to never discuss again. The price though is likely much lower than those initial demands - she’s losing in the court of public opinion and damaging victims who will now feel the pressure to not speak out years after unfortunately.

There a huge difference unfortunately in waiting months and decades - some times you just have to forgo monetary damages and deal with shit on your own - for benefit of others. I highly suspect that is what a judge would find here ultimately.

Just don't generalize.

And I agree, that particular women just want an instant retirement fund.
