Re: tw rape, csa -- what do you do when someone in a dw comm admits to that?

I don't know about limitations when the abuser admits to something in the past but there is a limit on how long a victim can delay pressing charges on them in certain cases.

for abuse victims, there is a term called date of discovery. The last time I looked at it, a victim had 2 years to report abuse from the moment they were aware of the abuse. This takes into account repressed memory as well as issues of dependence. The 2 yrs could be extended if the victim was completely dependent upon the abuser for their livelihood or support during the 2 yrs after the date of discovery.

Of course that was a while ago. Things may have changed since then and I'm thinking it was a (US) state limitation and could vary depending on where the offense occurred. That was the reason we didn't pursue; we could have afforded the travel to the state where it happened and couldn't file locally, despite the fact that everyone was local to us at the date of discovery.
