To: a fool in paradise
I don't know what the statute of limitations is in NY and it's probably different for civil and criminal. It's not clear from this what kind of case she wants to bring.

I would think the statute has passed, but in the era of Weinstein and Cosby states have been lengthening them and in some cases eliminating them. This seems to be a textbook case for statutes of limitation. How do you litigate a case where the witnesses and evidence are 30 years old if they are even still around?

Perhaps she’s trying to establish enough of a defense against a libel lawsuit for her fraudulent book.

There was no chain of custody on the evidence.

I don’t see how it can be admissible.

In New York, I believe the statute of limitations for rape is now 20 years. She’s too late.
