Kevin Spacey and Steven Seagal won’t face criminal charges following allegations from the 1990s because the alleged incidents are beyond the statute of limitations, and prosecutors rejected filing a charge against “black-ish” actor Anthony Anderson, citing insufficient evidence.
Prosecutors declined to charge Spacey in an October 1992 case, saying the date was beyond the period in which a charge could be filed. That allegation, made by a man, involved an incident in West Hollywood.
Beverly Hills police last year investigated Seagal after a woman reported he had raped her on Jan. 1, 1993. Prosecutors, however, declined the case, noting the woman was 18 at the time and the statute of limitations for rape charges was six years at the time...

Isn’t this the second time Anderson has been accused? Where there’s smoke there’s fire....

Charles Bronson didn’t recognize such restrictions.
I had an inlaw who wanted to organize a team of guys to take on scum. He wanted to use old guys whose doctors had given them so much time to live. A suicide squad, so to speak.

This can be so frustrating but I find comfort knowing they WILL stand before God and answer for all they have done. In the meantime I pray for justice today.
terrific journalism from Mr. Greenfield,
and a great supplement to any #metoo threads,
thanks for sharing this again SunkenCiv.
Retroactive charges would be thrown out as ex-post facto.
Well, it didn’t stop them in Philadelphia from going after Bill Cosby after he pointed out that blacks underachieve in education.
They are needed. We have enough lawfare at work nowadays. No statute means they can fabricate anything on anyone about anything - just to punish a political opponent.
And it would always be from the left to the right.
Steven Seagal lives in Russia.
French actor Gerard Depardieu also. And he too has since been charged with sexual assault. Go figure.
