It depends on the jurisdiction, but I think you can get charges pressed if you were a child when it happened.
If it happened to you as an adult it would be extremely difficult to get a conviction, even if it were possible to press charges.
And there is a statute of limitations. I do think it varies from one place to another.

Most jurisdictions the statute of limitations is 7 years. Check with the local DA or the local police to see if there is enough evidence to move forward with a case.

It depends on the state the rape occurred in. In my state (KY), there is no statute of limitations on felonies, so the charges can be brought at any time. I would call the local prosecutor and ask.

Warran has given you the most correct answer. To receive any further guidance I would have to know in what state this occurred (IF in the U.S.), when it occurred and how old you were.

I believe so, ask the police. I would check into it. That animal could be hurting other women.
