I had an incident in school in 2007 when I was 14 that could easily have sent me to jail. Instead I got sent to the hospital and got told to leave the school. She never pressed charges
I'm just wondering if she can still press charges 17 years later. I am now 31 so I know it seems a bit unlikely but you just hear all this stuff about people from 2003 or so who are trying to press charges now __________________ I'm Blue |

There is a statute of limitations preventing people from filing charges years later (there are some exceptions that have no limitations like terrorism and other severe stuff etc . )
You can’t be prosecuted that many years later. Theoretically she can sue in civil court if she suffered damages but you were a child. So that’s not going to happen |

If you are referring to all the "me too" cases that are being filed... that is due to a special law which drastically extended the statute of limitations. |
