Abuse Crimes and Statute of Limitations - Tough Call
link
////////////////////////
"Sex" abuse crimes, today, tend to not be reported until the victims come forward many years later. And most states have statute of limitations regarding most any crime except murder. What is to be done?
I have no idea.
///////////////////////
It is not right that the abuser gets away with it. Ever. But should a fat old fuck like Conlin, dead eyed and sleazy, be sent to jail for the horrible, horrible things he did 40 years ago? He should suffer a price for his bad deeds, but on the other hand, statute of limitations are usually good laws because cops and prosecutors can't be chasing down shoplifters for 25 years. The dismantling of statute of limitations restrictions regarding "sex" crimes should be done very, very carefullly.
We. Do. Not. Want. Thousand and thousands of these cases ripping this nation apart.
But "sex" abuse happens in most every household. Not by a family friend, not by the creepy stranger, but usually by Dad. And sometimes by Mom.
This is the biggest dilemma facing our society. Outside of the war in Afghanistan. And the lack of career opportunities. And the do nothing Congress. Oh, and the fact that winter is coming in the real states, the states that count. Um....and the Celtics not having a real center. That sucks, too. But other than that, we're good. Yeah.
