VerifiedHi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help with your question and concern
Good afternoon. It is always best to report this and allow the police to investigate, to see what could possibly be done. The time limit for felonies varies by the type of crime, as follows:
- Murder, terrorism, use of weapons of mass destruction, rape, and aggravated criminal sodomy – None
- If the victim is the Kansas public employees retirement system (KPERS) – 10 years
- Any of the following sexually violent crimes: rape (before 2014 changes), any indecent liberties with a child, any criminal sodomy, indecent solicitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated incest, aggravated human trafficking if for sexual purposes, commercial exploitation of a child, depend on the age of the victim:
- For victims 18 years or older, 10 years or within 1 year of DNA evidenceestablishing offender's identity, whichever is later
- For victims under 18, within 10 years of turning 18 or within 1 year of DNA evidence establishing offender's identity, whichever is later
- All other felonies – 5 years
You are welcome. That would determine how the new law was written and the prosecutor would know how to apply it. That is why it is best to report it and allow them to decide. Please let me know if there is anything else, as I would be happy to respond. If not, please remember to rate my help at this time at the top of this page, prior to leaving so I can receive the proper credit, for our time together. A 5 STAR rating is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
