Someone can say anything that they want. I presume that what you are asking is can they prosecute you nine years after the events allegedly occurred. Since you did not say what state the alleged events occurred, I am assuming that they occurred in Tennessee. You also did not state what it is that you are alleged to have done to your sister, which would make a difference.  Depending on the allegation and the crime which it is alleged that you committed, it could be from 2 years (E felony) to 15 years (A felony).
