Listening to the Bernie Fine case, I am quite shocked to learn there is a statute of limitations in cases involving pedophile's and child molestation. The victim, Bobby Davis, was prevented from bringing charges and seeking justice against Bernie Fine because too many years had passed since the crime occurred.
I understand why there is a statute of limitations on many different types of crimes, but under the circumstances of child molestation and what we know it makes no sense. Victims of molestation are usually ashamed and afraid to turn in their abusers. It often requires a major event occurring that triggers them to finally do it. It can take years if not decades for a victim to finally get the courage to step up and tell their story.
The very fact the victim of the crime is a child should be reason enough for their not to be any limits on how long you can wait before you turn the person in. If you were molested when you were six, then you should be able to turn that sicko in whenever you get the courage to do so. How can we allow known pedophiles to continue walking the streets and harming young children just because a victim didn't turn them in right away? This makes absolutely no sense.
