Haha... Thanks for the info... Good stuff there... But I think I'm a little premature on the 'rape' thing... -- I have heard reports of what would be 'rape' (no doubt) but the victim is obviously scared to talk about it with me...
At this point, it's only things like: Victim enters house, offending person backs victim into corner behind door & makes unwanted advances, sex talk, touching etc. (all these sorts of things.)
What could something along those lines be called? Harassment? Sexual harassment? -- Something more (when repeated several times)?
thx.
I vote for sexual abuse. See above.
What did the police say when the person reported this "assault" to them?
They should be able to get all the facts and determine what crime it was.
Extremely complex set of circumstances... And they did nothing, because of it...
What's the sol on that?... Sexual abuse... 48 something man vs. 33 y.o. woman
All good things in their own time...
If a felony, it appears the state has 6 years. If a misdemeanor, 4 years. The ages at this point mean nothing in particular if they were both adults and the suspect was not in a position of authority over the victim.
And if the elements cannot be proven, then it's all over. Time is not likely to make it easier to prosecute.
