I think that there actually is some kind of time limitation for these things.

OTOH...the Cory Feldman and Cory Haim stories were taken to the police, at the time, but the police refused to even investigate.

The Moore stuff is political and they are being paid!

Six Laws with no Statute of Limitations
Adam R.’s picture
Posted April 26, 2012

There are only a few instances when the period when a perpetrator of a crime can be charged and convicted never expires:

If you kill someone: A charge of murder can be made at any time.
Fraud and embezzlement: You will be looking over your shoulder forever.
War Crimes: If you commit a series of crimes against humanity - a la Slobodan Milosevic - then you will never be forgiven just because you have lived a long happy life.
Kidnapping: Do not think you can get away with taking someone’s children.
Treason: Some of our famous spy cases have been prosecuted decades after the events took place. We never forgive
treason.

Not paying back your federal student loans. The power to collect on defaulted student loan debt is vast. It is virtually without limit. Outstanding student loan debts are one of the few instances where a collector can intercept social security benefits payments. Section 484A (a) of the Higher Education Act says that “t no statute of limitations bars enforcement action to collect Federal student loans, including collection by offset, lawsuit, or enforcement on student loan judgments.”

I recall an extension for child molestations under the theory that children may remember more when they grow up and not be subject to as much pressure. But IIRC it wasn’t open ended. I think it came out of the McMartin case in CAL
