he's undoubtedly guilty, but it's been 20 years - why didnt she come forward earlier? the statute of limitations has probably lapsed
This is probably related to NY recently changing their rules regarding civil suits for sexual assault. The same change that prompted the Trump case.
I'm sure for a 17 year old in 2003, going after someone so wealthy and powerful seemed insurmountable. But the rule change seems to be allowing some victims to finally get some form of resitution.
He tried to kill Kid Cudi by blowing up his car, I imagine a 17 year old was (correctly) pretty scared of what a man in his position could do

…wow
Fear or shame, probably.
Didn't some law or something come in where cases like these can still be heard in court? I'm pretty sure that's why we're seeing an influx of these articles.
Rape and murder have no statue of limitations I thought.
NM has a 7 year statute of limitations on murder. Rape has similar in many places.
Welp that's sad and disappointing.
Did a quick Google and it looks like while there is a statue it was extended in 2019 to 20 years for second degree and 10 for third degree, with no limits in incest and first degree. It was 5yrs for second and third which was wildly inadequate imo.

That seems insanely short. But given the history the mafia had in that state it shouldn’t surprise me
I was not aware we had a history of mafia here.
Shit that’s on me, too high and thought it said NV
Don't worry, every state has had some kind of "mafia."
The Amish, the Russian, the Redneck, somewhere, in some investigative report on organized crime, some journalist got your back.
