Is there a timeframe after the so called "rape" where the female cannot press charges anymore?

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by Michael J. Breczinski (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers
She is not the one who presses charges it is the State. And there is a Statute of limitations but one year is not long enough to bar prosecution.
