(6,082 posts)28. That is not correct. The statute of limitations varies from state to state.
Some states have no statute of limitations for child victims of sexual assault. Others have very long statutes of limitations
In 2019, Pennsylvania significantly extended the filing deadline for child survivors of sexual assault. Victims now have until age 55 to file a claim against a sexual abuser.
. Still others have statutes of limitations as short as 3 years In South Dakota, there is no difference between the length of time child and adult victims have to sue a sexual abuser. Currently, survivors of childhood and adult sexual assault have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in South Dakota. There is a three-year discovery rule for child survivors, according to S.D. Codified Laws § 26-10-25. However, children generally only have until they turn 21 to file a lawsuit against an abuser, which is often an insufficient amount of time for children to come to terms with the wrongs done to them.
A pilot witnessing Trump on a flight is only evidence of Trump being on a flight. It is not remotely evidence of a crime.
The lawsuits against Trump were Civil lawsuits, not Criminal ones.
I'll remind you I said if full evidence against Trump were to come out : "It would also open him up to more massive civil lawsuits from victims."
It remains highly unlikely there would ever be an attempt at a criminal prosecution, however.
