Genearlly your statute of limitation would be 1 year for filing a civil complaint for something like libel or slander while it would also be one year for the filing of a false report in criminal court. There is a distinction between a false report charge, which is a disorderly person's charge, and filing a false accusation which is a more serious offense, but I presume you are referring to a false report charge.
