My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland
When I was 12 I started having sex with a man who was almost 20 years old. At age 17 I became pregnant by the same man. We got married and had 4 children total together. I feel like I was lured into the sexual relationship because I was having problems with my father. The man convinced me that my father hated me and no one would love me like him. I ended up seeing a mental health professional because of it when I was 13. And on and off after that. I lived through years of abuse, not being allowed to work or drive. I am missing several front teeth. There were times I would wake up because his hands were around my throat and he basically raped me. I finally got out of the relationship when I was 30 years old. Homeless, no money, and he has the kids. He ended up dating a girl who was still in high school. They live together and have a baby. He is almost 20 years older than her. We are getting ready to go through a divorce and custody battle. This is going to be brought up. My problem is that I am being told he could be charged with statutory rape because I was so young and even first degree sex offense. I am being told that there is no statue of limitations for this because it is a felony crime and even though we got married it does not matter. I was also told that the conditions of our marriage makes it worse for him.
I have to admit that while it concerns me that his age range is getting younger, and we have a daughter, I am not sure I want to put him through all of that. I am quite confused. I do not want to back down from him in court, I am being fair, not asking for alimony, and I do as much as possible to support my children. But I am not sure I want him to go through all of that and possible jail and having to register.
Can he still be charged with a sex crime after all these years?
