Can he still file rape or sexual assult on her if statue of limitation is up?

Asked Apr 14, 2009, 10:32 PM — 63 Answers
My husband was 15 years old he went to go spend the night at a friends house he made a mistake and got intoxicated with his friend his friends sister and her friends well anyway his sister was 19 at the time and my husband was highly intoxicated and woke up the next morning and went home. Well six years later almost 7 years later he got a paper in the mail saying he had a child who is now 7 yrs old. He thought it was a joke that someone was just playing or blaming him so he coperated with the child support and did genetic testing. It was a perfect match. He then said the last time he saw this women was that night and had no idea he was with her. Now I know he was in the wrong of drink but that doesn't excuse her of being an adult for one, being at her house 2 and providing the alcohol 3. Now the the statue of limition is 7 years she failed to tell my husband of this child until the statue of limition was only weeks from being up. Now if my husband had no idea he was sexually assulted how could he have filed a sexual report on her. Now he is stuck with all the finanicial responsibility of this child who he has no relationship with? Please help thanks

You I wish she would get on this website to explain her side of the story because we all want to hear it/know it she till this day avoids the question I don't know what to think I only see her actions and that proves a lot.I am a very reasonable person . YOU guys are right! This isn't about me my husband or her its bout the kids! My kids are definetily effected by all this. And I only could imagine what he is going through! But what should we do if you just let it go he could still be exposed to the sexual abuse and the physical abuse but if we pursue it then we hurt him that way but he doesn't hurt himself or other. I'm Confused two great points of view...

I see a lot of BS with your husband's story, but that isn't the point here.

If the child is being abused, call the police NOW. Do not go after the mother for allegedly sexually assaulting your "poor husband". Deal with what is actually important... The child.

And I say "poor husband" because even if he WAS drunk and underage, he was still a guy who would have nailed a light socket if he could figure out how to get the outlet cover off. Yes, it might be a "crime" in most states... But I ain't buying it. And if I were on the jury I would side with the woman.

Steve I know this isn't about what you and I agree on, but I disagree. I as a parent of a 15 year old boy, I would be for one criminally insane if my son spent time with a 19 year old woman that supplied him with alcohol and then tempted him or allowed him to sleep with her. For one without the use of a condom, GOD KNOWS WHERE SHE'S BEEN and for two truly without his consent. The age difference and the alcohol make this a very bad situation. One that I would take further than just assuming that my son must have "wanted it" as you are suggesting.

It is wrong. However you slice it, it was wrong and there are laws to protect the underage regardless of the sex of the person.

like always siding with the poor woman its her fault in the first place and the reason why she needs to be held accountable and the reason why we don't go to the police like you say is because they will judge him just the way you did! She is still a grown up! She knows better! The kid is the victum just because my husband is grown now doesn't mean he was then! You missing the whole point here! I'm not postin a sob story here I'm only saying it how it is. Its wrong not enough people see what's going on here!

That is very sexiest what you are portraying this to be. That is truly messing with my husbands emotions! He is so very ashamed of what happen to him only wrong doing he's owns up to is the fact he agreed to drink the alcohol. The sex part he knows nuthing about

It hard not to run into a stereotype here. What we expect of fifteen year olds and sex with an older woman. Yes, she was wrong, she was the adult. I don't think any of us are really saying that what she did wasn't wrong.

I think we all just want to focus on what matters right here and now and that is this seven year old child, who shouldn't have to be punished for his mothers sins more then he already is.

You brought up real other issues with her character. Take care of the child. File for your visitation. The mother can't just collect child support. Exercise your rights to be in the child's life.

Her age does not indicate "where she's been". The other point is that its plausible that they were both in high school still. I graduated with a 20 year old.

And you have never been a 15 year old boy. I promise you... Unless your child is different than EVERY 15 year old boy I have ever met, he would have done the same thing.

I am not arguing that what she did was illegal. I am just giving my opinion that I don't feel sorry for the father.

The point is that this happened and there is nothing that can change it. Time to worry about the kid now.

I'm going to add my 2 cents in here. First, whether the boy consented or not should not be an issue. Just as a 19 yr old man having sex with a 15 yr old girl would be charged with statutory rape, so should the reverse.

If you feel the child is not being taken care of properly, then I would pursue the rape case.

But I do see some contradictions in your posts. You talk about the financial burden this situation has placed on you, yet you are willing to take custody of the child. You talk about justice, but the one being most affected is the child and where is the justice for him?

My recommendation is to IMMEDIATELY consult an attorney to try and unravel this mess.

Just because only women report rape does not mean a man can't be raped! It is possible and in my husbands case that is what happened!come on lets look at the facts here!
1 she moved away from the location when she was pregnant
2 very small community she hid this child from pple there n him
((i might note) he's best friends with her brother why didn't the brother tell him? He must of got told not to say enything!
3 she comes out about it 7 whole years later when statue of limitation is weeks from being up!
This story is too much of a quwinsidence
I don't buy that she is innocent come on now pple!
Regardless if he did know which he didn't it is still wrong she should be responsible quit weezling through the system and getting away with it! Its pple like her who make it harder for hard workn families who have real issues.
