Does that mean she can still press charges in the 1993 case?

Doesn't even make sense that she can go back to those charges and start again. There's probably a time limit attached to start with and then there's something called "evidence" and 'CREDITABILITY'

"The fact that it took her three years to come forward after the 1993 alleged attack may be inconsequential. North Carolina has no statute of limitations on felonies. A rape can still be filed and prosecuted, WHETHER IT BE THREE YEARS OR THIRTY YEARS after the incident."

That fact, if true, should strike terror into the hearts of men everywhere.
