    It really depends on where you live as the laws on this vary by location.

    Why weren't charges filed as soon as she got pregnant? This person is clearly a predator and I'm sure he has done it again in the 3 years since.

    But as J_9 says, local laws determine whether the sex was even illegal (though it is likely it was) and whether a Statue of Limitations has past.

    And why hasn't your sister, at least gone after him for child support?

    Why did they not do something 3 years ago?

    Why is it now that they want to do something?

    Has she also filed for child support ?
