There is a certain time period for appealing cases. However, when it comes down to reopening a case that has been closed and appealed, the requirement is very high. There has to have surfaced totally new evidence regarding your particular case. You state that the "victim's" future actions or rather actions after you were convicted can prove this, but actually only her actions in the particular incident you were convicted of can be used. If you have new evidence pertaining to the time period of the incident then you would file a motion.
