Is there a time limit for a rape charge?

Answer by  PHolloway (45)

Yes, the statute of limitations for rape (since it is a felony) is fifteen years. If you were a minor when you were raped, however, you have until you turn 21.

This depends on the where you live. Most states have a statute of limitations of seven years. If you were a minor when it happened, the limit may be longer.

The statute of limitations varies depending on where you live and the exact nature of the crime. It can be anywhere from 5-20 years. But the sooner you notify the police, the better chance they will have of finding the person and stopping them from doing this to someoneelse.
