In this segment (starting at the 20:00min mark), Gregg Jarrett says the State of Maryland has no Statute of Limitations on sexual assault.
And that Ford should pursue her quest for "justice" with the State of Maryland.
Not the political theater of the Senate committee.

She should file a complaint with the county sheriff where the incident was supposed to have occurred. That is the proper recourse.
Where did it occur?
How exactly do you prove rape 50-60 years on?
There is no money in it for her if she goes the proper local route. She has no evidence let alone proof. Baseless allegation doesn’t fly in the legal system. That’s only good in political situations. Soros and Steyer won’ pay for that route. They want political results not a misdemeanor flameout.
Yep. Put up or shut up. Go to the police or stand down.
We know the answer. She is lying and the only effect she has is because the Democratic Party’s media allies are a very loud force multiplier for her noise.
She will never go to the police because she is lying. But the MSM will keep doing her work. As long as Assley and the GOP-e have no balls, she runs a good chance of sinking Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Trump will never give up though, so I am sure Kavanaugh will be our next SCOTUS justice. After this train wreck.
Ah, a new talking point.
And yet, the very first entry in a search for “maryland” + “sexual assault” + “statute of limitations” tells us that it varies quite a bit, and only felony-level crimes have no SoL.
This distinction will be willfully ignored by MSNBC, Feinstein, moveon.org, et al.
“How exactly do you prove rape 50-60 years on?”
You don’t.
Even 5 years is a stretch, at best.
It should.
Montgomery County Maryland, as liberal as Berkley CA.
Surely the prosecutor there would take this on...right?
Discovery might prove interesting.
How many other repressed memories could she discover?
This has gone from an allegation of groping to rape — based on a 30-years-after supposed repressed memory, but unable to identify where, when, who else might have been present, etc.
This is railroading in progress — based on a 30-years-after supposed repressed memory.

IIRC, the ‘repressed memory’ industry was in fashion on the TV talkshow circuits several decades ago. It fell out of favor, especially after accusations destroyed a family who ran a day care center. They were charged, found guilty and sent to prison due to some ‘adults’ who, at the facility as children, ‘remembered’ abuses. Later on some of them admitted to ‘faked’ memories.
QUIT SAYING RAPE!
She accused him of inappropriately touching. She doesn’t even say it it was her breast, or rear end, or baby toe or left ear lobe. She admits she was fully dressed and he put a hand on her over her clothing.
It is a lie, but for those who believe her lie, the incident is exactly nothing, especially in the context of the time it happened and the ages of the people involved.
The jails would still be filled today if I had to turn in every 17 year old boy I saw touch a 16 year old girl without asking her permission first, when I was in high school.
I mean, for crying out loud, even if she were not lying THERE IS NO THERE, THERE.
This is pure modern PC insanity. A dumb 17 year old boy gropes the barely budding breast of a 16 year old girl, and that is now a capital offense? We have gone completely insane today?
Not that it happened, because the commie rat activist accuser is LYING.
It isn’t an alleged rape, it’s alleged sexual assault.
Statue of limitations is only unlimited for a felony rape
What were the laws in 1982 or 883 or 84 on statute of limitations?
Now its a crime to file a false police report.
Also - she refuses to be sworn, and testify, even privately.
Why won’t the Dems release her letter totally unredacted?
What are they afraid of?
If what she described actually occurred, it would be a felony.
Threw her down on the bed, felt her up, tried to remove her clothing, covered her mouth with his hand etc.
And, therefore, no time limit.
I wish she would try. Then we would have a prosecutor critiquing the proof issues. No case at all. Like the Duke rape case, it would only be filed for political motives and would not be ethical.
first off..it wasnt rape...second, what was alledged in her story is a misdemeanor ...with a statute of limitations of one year.
“How exactly do you prove rape 50-60 years on?”
Some states removed the SOL based on DNA evidence. For example, a woman is raped. She reports it, has DNA taken, no match. 20 years later, a guy is arrested for another crime and it turns out his DNA matches, as does his description. So the state wants to be able to prosecute that person. And I agree.
In this case, I wouldn’t call it attempted rape. Even if everything she said was the gospel truth, it would be teenagers groping. Which is something a lot of teens have done...
Jarrett could well be right on the statute, but there is a reason no complaint has been filed. False complaint filing carries its own penalty in Maryland.
§ 9-501. False statement - To law enforcement officer.
“A person may not make, or cause to be made, a statement, report, or complaint that the person knows to be false as a whole or in material part, to a law enforcement officer...with intent to deceive and to cause an investigation or other action to be taken as a result of the statement, report, or complaint.”
The penalty can be up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine up to $500.
There was no Rape or even an allegation of Rape.
Of course the Media doesn’t care, they have already called Judge Kavanaugh a Rapist.
When this alleged incident occurred there was a Statute of Limitation in place and for good reason.
Getting rid of the Statute of Limitations is akin to inventing Hate Crime Laws. Feel good nonsense that eviscerates the Rule of Law and creates Crimes where none exist to appease the Leftists.
