So whats a reasonable statute in this situation 2,3 or 5 years?

Charges get tossed every day in this country for lack of evidence.
I'm not really siding with her as much as I am genuinely curious what level of evidence gets you arrested when your last name isn't Clinton.

I am curious to see what they would consider enough evidence to make an arrest for something like this many years ago.
Maybe some combination of testimony, metadata, phone location data between the two, hotel records.

i think 5 years is a solid baseline for the max SOL
you can split the baby and make it like 3 years for reporting and leave a longer SOL if there is an active investigation but it has stalled
also, any expansion should never be retroactive. that's frickED

The maximum SOL for reporting the incident should be 3 yrs. If you want to have a longer statute where the incident is reported and an investigation has begun, that's fine.
The problem with the length of time between the alleged incident and the arrest isn't whether or not there's sufficient evidence for arrest: the alleged victim's statement alone is enough to sustain a charge. It's whether or not there's sufficient evidence for conviction. And I'm telling you, in a case where someone waited 8 or 9 years to come forward, almost always at least one juror is not going to believe the alleged victim for the delay alone.
So in that case, the SOL often saves taxpayer money by barring cases that could be litigated but would likely result in an acquittal.

Would you feel the same if it was a male teacher and female student that totally wanted to bone hi

The article clearly states enough evidence was found to charge and arrest the lady..

At what age do you draw the line for adults to have sex with minors?

seems kind of odd to bring this up 9 months later unless he is looking for the insurance money to fix the arthritis from all the high fives he was getting.

I'm not suggesting this was OK (it's not) but I have an issue with a willing teenager being some abused victim when in reality he couldn't get his dick out of his pants fast enough but the chick is charged with rape.

If this were a man and a girl everybody on here would be praising the DA for doing the right thing and prosecuting the case despite how old it was.

Yes it's a double standard.....we all know this.....even most of us are hypocrites about it

14 year old me was a fricking hornball. I would have absolutely smashed a few of my middle school teachers. My social studies had a resemblance to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and I was absolutely hot for teacher.
