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.

I think as long as the accused is 16 or over, this is true.
I think as long as the accused is 16 or over, this is true.
But, am sure this is still classified under juvenile law.
Horowitz was on Fox and completely disagrees with this.
Even the ‘so called’ conservative pundits have created rape from this.
As the title of the thread says....Maryland.

Maybe there is a long-overlooked complaint, filed at the time, that has been languishing unread in a misplaced file. Dan Rather is on the case now. He's good at finding this kind of stuff, and he's had plenty of time to build his collection of old typewriters.
I would agree with you if you wrote "How exactly do you prove assault 50-60 years on?"
If the committee votes Monday, the DA or county attorney will file charges within 24 hours.
Bet on it.
Where? In Juvenile Court? In what jurisdiction?
She would have to fly in and do it personally. She could file a civil suit with an attorney, I believe. But otherwise she has to do it personally and sign it.
She has to show up and file a complaint.
How exactly do you prove rape 50-60 years on?
First she does not claim it was rape.
At most it was a clumsy grope outside her clothe.
But same question, how would you prove it, even ten minutes after the fact let alone 30 plus years later
Just because there is no statute of limitations now, doesn’t mean there wasn’t one in 1982. Many states got rid of the statute of limitations on sexual assault in the late 1980s or 1990s. I remember news stories from when the laws changed in Georgia.
Her statements are that penetration did not happen, so it was not rape. It may have been sexual assault in the form of groping. At least that is what I read.
You people need to learn how to read. Truly.
Did my due diligence.
Fourth Degree –
• Engaging in sexual contact without the other’s consent
• Fourth Degree – Typically, this crime is a misdemeanor punished by not more than one-year imprisonment and a fine not more than $1,000. However, if a person previously committed a sex crime, the punishment is increased to 3 years in prison and a fine up to $1,000.
• What is the statute of limitations?
o If offender is in a position of authority at a school or the victim was a minor at the time of the offense, then prosecution must commence within three years after commission of the offense; or
o For other violations of the statute, prosecution must commence within one year after commission of the offense.
• Statutory Citation(s):
o Citation for the crime: Md. Code, Crim. Law § 3-308.
o Citation for the statute of limitations: Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-106; In re Anthony R., 362 Md. 51, 73, 763 A.2d 136, 148 (2000).
Not a felony. a 4th degree sexual assault. 1 yr misdemeanor, statute of limitations waaaay expired.
Instead of ad hominem attacks, it would be far better if you would explain what you mean by “Rape.” There is NO accusation of rape.
