If you cant pursue a criminal investigation due to statutes, etc then dont come forward. Because all that will happen is that you will lob an unproveable accusation that will ruin someones life without the ability to prove it. In many of these cases woman are lobbing accusations who ARE within the statute of limitations and could pursue a criminal case, but chose not to. Instead they do a hit-n-run of throwing out accusations and disappearing without any way of verifying them. Many of them might be telling the truth, but there's no way to separate the truth from the lies when all you have is an accusation. So I'm not going to contribute to ruining someones life over any of the accusations unless proven in a court of law. |
But that argument only holds if you are not the victim. If the person has attempted to rape you, you should ALWAYS come forward regardless of how much time has passed. It is irrelevant if the person's life in that case is destroyed since the most important thing is to investigate and see if your case can be proved. Time is irrelevant.
