The limitation period for filing a criminal charge or indictment for a sex crime varies depending on the type of offense. Aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault have no limitation period, meaning that the prosecutor can bring these criminal charges at anytime. Prosecution for endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated criminal sexual contact involving sexual abuse of a child may be commenced within five years of the victim’s attaining the age of 18 or within two years of the discovery of the offense by the victim, whichever is later. Just about every other form of sex crime may be commenced within five years from the date of the alleged incident.
