Not saying he didn't DO it, mind you ... but prosecuting a rape case 20+ years after the fact? With no rape kit in evidence (is there even a police report, I don't recall), especially?

Sadly I have to say ... I really doubt it. People with MUCH better evidence against them skate on rape charges all day long and twice on Sundays. Again, sadly.

Also I think the 'no statute of limitation' thing might only apply to victims of sexual abuse who were minors at the time, not adults. Could be wrong on that, but pretty sure.

Anyways, I don't see what we'd all hope for in regards to his past sexual assaults ... happening.
