    Default Duties of a Mandatory Reporter for Old Offenses

    If a mandatory reporter learns of an act of abuse against a child that occurred many years before, with the child being well into adulthood at the time the reporter learns of the crime, does California's mandatory reporter law still apply?

    Default Re: Duties of a Mandatory Reporter for Old Offenses

    See Penal Code, Sec. 11164 et seq.

    I think that there is a plausible argument to be made that the law would not apply under those circumstances, but if I were a mandatory reporter I would run the full facts past a lawyer before making a decision not to make a report.
