>>Might it be that the statute of limitations has run and,as a result,no prosecution is possible?<<
I had to scratch my head — the recording just occurred. No way any statute of limitations has run.
No,that comment was a response to the suggestion that the *teacher* might be prosecuted.
“I am 28 years old and have been waiting years to get up enough courage to report a teacher for sexually abusing me for years. When I finally got up enough courage to report her, I found out that the statute of limitations was up and she will never have to pay for the things that she did to me.”
It happened 16 years earlier.
I understand your point, but being a victim as a child, with a female teacher, I can tell you the residual conditioning when watching aggressive sexual encounters in movies, and TV, brings back the pain of the incidents, even after many intervening years..
It’s so difficult to explain, and even more so for me as a man that has been a successful businessman, but so clumsy in my intimate interactions with women..
