In Colorado, there are a few crimes that might not be barred by the statute of limitations, those include sexual assault on a child if the assault/incident occurred after July 1, 1996. However, this does not include all sexual assault crimes against a child, some crimes could be barred 10 years after the victim/child turns 18.
