INSIGHT

Statute Of Limitations Depends On Jurisdiction And Age

Statutes of limitations vary widely for child sexual abuse so prosecution depends heavily on jurisdiction and victim age at the time.
Federal law often has no statute of limitations for child rape, while states like Florida, South Carolina, New Jersey, and New York have different windows or none at all.

ADVICE

Use Public Pressure And Oversight To Force Document Releases

Keep public pressure on the Justice Department to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act and release all withheld documents.
Jill Wine-Banks and Kimberly point to congressional oversight, subpoenas, and constituent contacts as practical levers that produced the recent tranche of releases.

ADVICE

Contact Representatives To Drive Oversight

Contact your representatives to demand accountability; constituent outreach influences lawmakers' actions.
