    Default Statute of Limitations on Sex Crimes

    Had a question about charges of child pornography and the statute of limitations. I realize there are no statutes that apply to sex crimes against children. However, the exceptions for the statute of limitations seems to lack specifics. Could someone still be charged 6 years later for receipt of child pornography if the only evidence that they received anything was a credit card charge? Or what about something found on an old computer they had gotten rid of years ago. Obviously possession would be a different issue because it would be in the present.(in most cases). I know without some sort of physical evidence, ie images on the suspects computer or saved on discs, etc, it would be a tough case but is it possible at all to have a case with just being linked to a credit card or old computer? Only defense on the cc woyld be fraudulent charges.

    They MAY still be able to be charged. Much depends on your specific state, which you haven't told us.

    I guess a better question would be how all these charges would weigh in, federal vs state. Im not sure this would matter since they would be federal charges. State charges would nor be able to be brought at this point. Anyone have any input
