/// It is extremely unlikely that legal action could be taken against Cosby for any of the other alleged incidents, at least in part thanks to the statute of limitations on cases of rape and sexual assault that pertain in most US states. In California, for example, such cases cannot be prosecuted more than 10 years after the alleged offence, while in Pennsylvania the statute of limitations is 12 years. ///

Taking into consideration all of the old accusations now being levelled at some of our celebrities should we also have a statute of limitations?

Why should there be if there is enough proof that the crimes were committed?

xstitcher, in these circumstances the only proof that the sexual act was not consensual is the testimony of the complainant.

[ummmm]

If there is more than one complainant....
