Financial Crimes and FraudOffenses involving fraudulent financial transactions, embezzlement, forgery, insurance fraud, and misuse of checks and credit cards.
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts
I need to know the statute of limitations for ID Theft for the state of mass. My identity was stolen a couple of years ago and just found out, just need to know if I can still press charges
File a police report, and let the police and prosecutor worry about the statute of limitations. I expect the statute of limitations for prosecution is six years or longer. (I believe LRM is referencing a civil limitations period.)
