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.
It should.
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.
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?
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.
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.
She won’t file a police report or testify under oath. Their are severe penalties for false/embellished reports and perjury.
Literally every heterosexual man in America could be falsely accused of sexual assault from 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years ago and sent to prison.
This is insanity.
If both minors at time waste of time.
Identify the house.
Locate the police who patrol that city.
Tell them.
They’ll maybe look into it.
If there’s something, then something might happen.
If there isn’t anything, then nothing will happen.
Right now the charge comes from a memory dredged up from a therapy session just a few years ago. Picture a public prosecutor taking that to the court, with a team of $1000/hour attorneys at the defense table a few feet away.
Good luck with that.
Who said it happened in Maryland?..surely not the victim. Your mind is filling in all the blanks for her sketchy narrative. You weren’t there...and neither was she.
Many States under the pressure of radical feminism and homosexual abuse of children Have extended or eliminated their sexual crimes statute of limitations. That is recent history. At the time these alleged events occurred there was a statute limitations.
The new laws that are currently in force in such States are not retroactive neither are they allowed to be used in ex post facto manner. Garrett is wrong and those who agree with him are as well. I’m old and I no longer meddle in legal issues anywhere.
In Maryland, the criminal charge of Sexual Offense- fourth degree is classified as a Misdemeanor.
Dershowitz has said the events she claims do not fit Attempted Rape.
Interesting to know how the 1982 statute addresses activity between juveniles less than 2 years apart.
The absence of any subsequent claims or even rumors over the course of his very public life, including 6 FBI background checks should override this flimsy unprovable accusation of juvenile misbehavior.
Some worrying thought about the accuser.
Research psychologists know the risks of invalid data, why present a flimsy claim?
Although she is not a clinical psychologist, she attended and interned in a clinical program, she teaches in universities, she knows about claims there are therapeudic benefits in reporting.
She has to know the literature on witness identification problems and memory.
What has been her access to sexual assault victims and their claims?
