Any felony sexual assault in Maryland is unbounded by a statute of limitations. Not just rape.

If she had been a male, there wouldn’t even be an issue. They would have applauded Kav’s efforts and called the ‘victim’ homophobic.

We should go straight to the source now.

Sexual Offense First Degree – engaging in a sexual act (oral or anal sex, or any object or part of one’s body penetrates the genitals or anus for sexual gratification, but not vaginal intercourse – that’s above in rape) by force, threat, or without consent while displaying a weapon, suffocating or physically injuring the victim, or threatening the victim with death, disfigurement, or serious physical injury, or committed with another’s help or during a burglary

Second Degree – engaging in a sexual act with another by 1) force or without his or her consent, 2) with a mentally or physically incapacitated person (includes drunk, high, or unconscious) when the defendant should know of his or her condition, or 3) the victim is under 14 and the defendant is at least 4 years older than the victim

Third Degree – includes any of the following:engaging in sexual contact (intentionally touching the victim’s or defendant’s genital, anal, or other private parts for sexual gratification or abuse of either person) in any of the following situations:Without consent while using a weapon, strangling or seriously injuring the victim, threatening the victim with death, serious injury, or kidnapping, or committed with another’s help OR The victim is mentally or physically incapacitated (drunk or unconscious for example) and the defendant knows of his or her condition The victim is under 14 years old and the defendant is at least 4 years older Engaging in a sexual act (i.e. oral or anal sex) or vaginal sex with a 14 or 15 year old victim by a 21 year old or older defendant, AKA statutory rape

Fourth Degree – any of the following:Engaging in sexual contact without the other’s consent Engaging in a sexual act or vaginal sex with a 14 or 15 year old when the defendant is at least 4 years older Engaging in a sexual act, sexual contact, or vaginal sex with a child under 18 who at the time of the sexual activity was a student enrolled in a school where the person was in a position of authority (i.e. a principal, coach, teacher, or counselor who’s at least 21 years old, employed by the school, and was in a supervisory position over the student)

At best (Or worse depending who you are) Kavanaugh was accused of Fourth degree assault which is considered a misdemeanor in most cases. Kavanaugh is in the realm of most cases based on what has been presented so far. which leads to....

Civil statute of limitations

In childhood sexual abuse cases, seven years from the victim’s 18th birthday,

and

Three years from the event for adult cases.

Criminal statute of limitations varies depending on the severity of the offense. The criminal statutes of limitations include:

Felony sexual offenses (Actual penetration using several methods through various degrees of force): no statute of limitations, (Kavanaugh again is not accused of FELONY sexual assault)

and

Misdemeanor offenses (Which she is accusing Kavanaugh of): Statute of limitations ARE... one year from the event.
