    Statute of limitation in British Columbia for sexual abuse
    What is the statute of limitation in British Columbia, Canada for a full sexual abuse as in someone else's penis entering a woman's body?

    *statute of limitation is the valid duration of the crime in which legal actions can be taken.

    There is no statute of limitation on this in Canada, it's simply considered rape.

    I don't know but I found the wording of this question to be somewhat... odd... and thought provoking!

    Someone else's penis entering a woman's body?

    Hello as:

    The statute would be the same no matter whose penis you used.

    First, I believe there is an SOL on rape charges in some jurisdictions, not sure about BC.

    Second, an aside to excon ROFLMAO

    Criminal law is a FEDERAL issue in Canada.

    On the case of sexual assault (rape), that is an indictable offence, which has no SOL.

    Summary offenses have a 2 year SOL I believe.

    Therefore, you, she, this victim can report it to the police whenever.
