Teen Life Q&A: The Limits of Statutory Rape
From Mike Hardcastle,

What is the statute of limitations on statutory rape?
I’m 6 years older than my girlfriend and we started having sex a few months ago while she was still under age. She’s at the Age of Consent where we live now but I wonder if I can later be charged for statutory rape for the time we had sex while she was too young. If I make her mad and we break up can she try to have me charged? We’re thinking of moving in together when she finishes high school and her parents aren’t too pleased, could they have me charged as a way to control us and stop us? Or am I OK now that she is at the Age of Consent?

Yes very good question. 7 Years is the limitation. 48 hours for any other rape.

It varies from state to state, but most states have recently passed provisions to protect minors and have created statutes based on the victim's 18th birthday rather than the date of the offense. If you post the state in question, I can look up the specific information by state.

I don't think so, but each state has a different definition and time line.
Most states let adults file charges, think of the men accusing priest of molestation when they were alter boys.
