    Default Pursuing an Old Statutory Rape Charge

    My question involves Statutory rape in TX as well.
    I am encouraging my new wife to pursue rape charges against her ex from 20 yrs ago. She was 16...he lied about his age to her and her family telling them he was 17 (he was really 22.) She ended up pregnant and married this man.
    I'm not sure what other info may help or of the SOL law of TX...I've researched online and found conflicting arguments.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thank you in advance!

    In addition to the SOL being long expired, even if it wasn't, no prosecutor is going to touch a case where she married him and now wants to pursue the matter 20 years later.

    "no prosecutor is going to touch a case where she married him"
    ahhhh, excellent point...I was blinded by the fact that he is a complete *#@$#* that I overlooked the obvious!
    Thanks!

    Don't worry, sometimes when dealing with people who are complete *#@$#*'s, it can make the obvious becomes so much LESS obvious =)

    Happens to everyone!
