Way back in 1983. 37 years ago. Is there no Statutes of Limitations on rape?

“As proof, they cite the fact that she didn’t raise the issue until 2017, 34 years after she claims the incident took place — and when she did raise it, she hired a lawyer to pursue a financial settlement rather than going to the police,” said the story penned by Adam B. Vary and Kate Arthur, both of whom are now employed by Variety full time — the legal vetting of such a piece can take an extremely long amount of time, even until its authors are employed elsewhere. “They point to the fact that she has no eyewitness to the alleged assault itself. Most damning of all, they said, is the fact that last March, an ex-boyfriend of hers reached out to the man she said assaulted her alongside Hutton and offered to personally broker some sort of deal.”
Hmm...

At what point do you say, sorry, it's too late and you don't get to just make accusations without evidence. There is no way of knowing the truth now. People believe all sorts of stuff that never happened. I have a friend from HS that swears up and down we went to prom together but I have photos to prove we didn't and she still claims we did. About the time #metoo started another girl from HS suddenly started telling friends that I did something inappropriate to her, luckily one of them didn't believe her and told me, then I got her to admit in a text message that nothing happened but she wished it did. People are bonkers.

Turned out to be a deleted scene from Beautiful Girls (1996).

I don't ever like the thought of dismissing those who may have actually had something bad happen to them in the past--but I tend to raise an automatic red flag against those who wait until decades later to bring any charges or accusations, and when financial matters get tossed into the mix I usually shake my head and go "uh-uh".

No one is credible, everyone lies, memory is unreliable, common sense and hunches are unreliable, we have to demand evidence and stop believing people based on whether they pull down their pants to pee.
Quite a few years ago there was case, Virginia iirc, where a woman was abducted and sexually assaulted for hours then released. The suspect drove a light blue pickup. The police randomly arrested some guy who lived half a state away because he owned a light blue pickup and the woman identified him as the rapist. There was zero evidence and I think the guy even had an alibi but the victim was so convincing it went to trial. He was convicted and sent to prison on her tearful testimony alone. Well you can guess where this was going, he was innocent. He didn't even look like the guy, who was eventually caught a couple years later. There was some other twist in the case involving the victim but I can't remember what it was.
