Bill Summary
For legislation to remove the statute of limitation for the offense of rape. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 63 of Chapter 277 of the General Laws, which deals with indictments, by removing the time limit, known as the statute of limitations, for prosecuting certain serious sexual offenses. Specifically, it allows for indictments for rape, as defined in sections 22 and 24 of Chapter 265, as well as charges related to conspiracy to commit rape, being an accessory to rape, or any combination of these offenses, to be filed at any point after the crime has occurred, thereby eliminating the previous time restriction for these particular crimes.
