The offence happened in Louisiana in 1983.
When I was 13, I was an altar boy and I was molested by our local priest. I know that the statute of limitations has long since passed, but I recently read that if the person moved out of state before the statute ran out and never returned, then time basically stops. As long as he remains out of state, the statute of limitations halts until he returns. I'm not sure if this applies to Louisiana, but I suppose that's why I'm here. After my mother complained to the head priest about him, he was quickly re-stationed up north, in New Jersey, I think, where he remains to this day.
I've found it in my heart to forgive him, so I don't want to see him go to jail, but I would like to know if there is a way that I can get some sort of restitution from the diocese that he was with. Do I have a case, or is it just too late?
Thanks.
