Please contact your nearest YWCA or rape crisis center. They have a well trained staff to help you in all your needs in this area. If you don't know, send me a blind/blind message through server and I will personally research facilities in your area. All I will ask is your nearest city.
The statute of limitations vary widely from state to state, so the first thing to do is get an advocate to help prioritize your needs. An advocate will also help you every step of the way, and they also offer counseling. This man violated you and you are in no way responsible for what he did, but you are responsible for getting help the same as if you had an illness, you are responsible for seeking a doctor. Women unfortunately have lived with this brutal assault for far to long. The good news is that we have learned to recover and grow stronger in the process. Every woman, child or man who has been brutalized creates one more soldier in the army to fight this atrocity. Meaning we(women) are 51% of the population, and it is not a wise or prudent move to enrage over half of the population. Good luck to you.

Most states have a 7 year statute of limitations. Talk to a county attorney to find out what your chances are. In a case like this, I would say the hospital could be liable as well for hiring him. Also you could probably file a civil court case if you can find a lawyer to do it. Sounds like you could use some counseling in the meantime. Even if the chances are slim for your not having your day in court, the trauma won't go away on it's own. I hope you take this advice & get yourself well, mentally. I care. Good luck!

I think the statute of limitations on rape is 7 years, but I am not sure and it may vary from state to state. Get a good lawyer. There is a good chance this person has done it before and will do it again. Good luck.

I believe it is 2 yrs after the actual offense, i have been on jury duty in the past 12 months and that is what i heard. Consult a solicitor asap.

Sure...there is no statute of limitations on serious felonies. Contact the police in that jurisdiction and file a report.
Good luck.

There is no state with a statute of limitations on such a crime that is less than 3 years.

Check with your police authorities or an attorney. You might also check with medical people, but probably not where it happened since there might be a possibility of suing them. If there is a legal aid available, they might also know.

go see a lawyer, in the very least you can face your attacker in court.
It is possible to approach it criminally and in a civil trial.
Good luck to you. I hope everything works out for the best.
