A close male friend of mine just revealed to me that he had been repeatedly raped by a female babysitter in her 20's when he was in elementary school. This happened over a course of time between 1990 and 1992 when he was 8 - 10 years old. These incidents took place in Fairbanks, Alaska where his stepfather was stationed in the military. He's just started talking about it after all these years and may be interested in telling the police if charges can be brought. This man is like a brother to me and I want to help him bring this sicko to justice. If she did this to him odds are there are other victims. Help please!

You can prosecute someone for child molestations years after the fact here in Alaska. They are taking down some priests here right now. Your friends case is well within the limits for doing this. I think it has to be done by age 35 to 40. Good luck.

In Alaska, there is no statue of limitations for most cases of most sexual abuses against children under 18 for criminal prosecution. Have him contact the police in Fairbanks, Alaska and file a complaint.
As to being able to sue civilly, that is a gray area as it was not until 1997 that Alaska adopted an extension of time on these types of cases and even then, it is usually within so many years after the victim becomes of legal age. Any possibility of a civil suit would have more merit if there was a criminal case with a conviction.
