    You’re right, of course. It’s why victims of traumatic crimes should have longer to report their attackers and receive justice.

      Yup, although looking at all the sexual assault allegations we have seen in the past years from long ago. People that where abused at a very young age and/or by people that held a position of authority over them… the time should be longer.

      Time should also not tick away as long as the victim is a minor. Ie. If a victim was 13 at the time of the assault the time should be extended with at least 5 years… if not more.

      Ofc there is a question if there should be a statute of limitation at all for these types of crimes. Proof is hard enough as it is.
