Statute of Limitations on Statutory Rape in Oklahoma

[BOR]

The statute of limitations does not apply if the suspect is a fugitive, or cannot be located for prosecution. It also may not apply if new, previously unknown evidence becomes known, or if a suspect concealed evidence of the crime.

If the assailaint left the state at any time, it may "toll" the commencement of prosecution and the original 7 yrs has effectively extended itself.

I did not check the tolling statute, if any, though.

[BOR]

Effective in 1981:

No person can be convicted of rape or rape by instrumentation on account of an act of sexual intercourse with anyone over the age of fourteen (14) years, with his or her consent, unless such person was over the age of eighteen (18) years at the time of such act.
