What is the name of your state? Minnesota
24 years ago when my husband was 11, and his sister was 6, it was discovered that they were innappropriately touching one another on several occasions when left alone. They were both put in counseling, since he was older, he took the responsibility and did all that was required of him. No other incidents happened.
We are currently seeking foster care/adoption of our niece. His sister's parental rights are up for termination in January. She obviously does not want this to happen, and is now alleging that more happened 24 years ago than really did.
My question, the State is catagorizing this as sexual abuse, which would disqualify us from taking custody of our niece. 24 years ago the statutes were much different, and both parties were under age. There was no force, no coercion. Can my husband now be punished 24 years later, again? For something he openly admitted, and dealt with when he was 11?
Thanks for any advice, or insights.
