    It depends on the state. But in my state the statute of limitations began to run once she reached 18, and it would have run out once she became 19. In other words the limitation is one year in my state. I don't know what it is in CA, but I certainly can't see it being more than 5 years which would mean she should have pressed charges against him prior to being 23.

    while what he did was reprehensible (taboo especially).. its in the past and this couple was married.

    That 13 year old girl doesn't exist anymore. She's an older chick now.

    Do his kids love him? Does he support his kids? Does he care for them? Does he work a job and provide support for his children?

    If so.. then dont pursue MY TAX MONEY!!!! Its us business owners who pay the most taxes in our society and i have decided that i dont want my taxes being used to arrest husbands for sex they had with their wives when she was underage.

    So. you want to destroy the lives of 4 children who presumably love their daddy and dont want him in prison with the murderers............ to save a 13 year old girl who doesn't exist anymore (that he was married to).

    And people wonder why the american government has no cash. Its because nobody can recognize a waste of tax money when they see it.

    Does she want him in jail? If not.. then mind your business and dont touch my tax dollars on this.

    I am totally against husbands being arrested for sex they had with their wives while underage. That doesnt mean i approve of molestation or underage sex. But... lay off the married couples and families.

    TOTALLY ... to the deepest core of my IQ.
