minus-squareFuglyDucklinkEnglish3•edit-28 months agoThere doesn’t appear to be A limitation for sexual assault of children. It might be lumped in with “personal injury” for one year, though. Criminally, it’s 30 years starting when the victim is 18.
minus-square@MangolinkEnglish1•8 months agoRIP Priests. I think it should definitely be shorter than that though just for practicality’s sake. I didn’t think it’s likely to prove it disprove anything after so much time.
minus-squareFuglyDucklinkEnglish1•edit-28 months agoI’m okay if they don’t rest in peace. There’s reasons to extend it, actually. Even if prosecution is harder, victims rarely come forward in otherwise “reasonable” time frames. Especially when the victims are children who may not know what’s happening to them is even wrong.
