What is the name of your state? Ohio.
A seventeen-year-old girl was molested by her uncle when she was eight, nine, and ten (maybe more, but ten was the last) but never told anyone except for a teenaged cousin and a ten-year-old friend. Since then, she's told a few friends but no one in her family.
The uncle was charged with the molestation of two young non-related boys and was imprisoned for two+ years. He's either free or on parole right now, not sure, but he's harrassing her and generally terrifying her; he tried to attack her again but has had a very bad limp since prison and couldn't get past the dresser she placed in front of the door. Again, no one in her family knows.
I think that the number of years you can wait before charging someone with something is four here, but is there any way that she could possibly make a case?
And sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
