Depends on the charge. Many of the felonious sexual abuse of children have NO LIMITATIONS. The charges can be brought at any time, even after the child becomes an adult. Other charges can have 2 - 10 year limitations. There are a few things that can toll (further extend) the limitations period. She should contact the district attorney.
