The Statute of Limitations on Sex Crimes in PA
Sex crimes have a different statute of limitations than most other crimes in the state. When a person is accused of raping someone over the age of 18 years old, the statute of limitations is 12 years after the crime was committed. Meanwhile, rape and sexual assault of a minor does not have a time limit, meaning a person could face charges at any time. It is for this reason the man in the most recent story still faced charges so long after the alleged offense.

This should have never gone to trial under the rule of law. The alleged rape happened in 2004. She had until 2016 to seek justice. Was Cosby charged after 2016?
