How long to you have to press charges against a person.

Depends on the crime, for some simple theft ( small amount) it can be a year, for some crimes 3 for some 7 years, some things may not have a time frame.

The longer you wait, the worst the case is, After a long enough time frame the police will turn over all the evidence to the DA, who will decide if they want to try and go to trail. So even if you press charges, it does not always mean the other person is arrested.

I was a victim on molestation as a child and now I want to make him pay for his crime because he thinks it's funny I LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT CAUSE I was scared of his threats... please help me...

Hello m:

Call the cops. Maybe it's not too late.

Can you press charges on someone for fraud or I.D. theift if it has been 5 years ago?
