The Tennessee Coalition To End Domestic and Sexual Violence is working with lawmakers to file a bill ending the statute of limitations for felony sex offenses.
Currently, felony sex offenses must be reported within three years for the statute of limitations to be removed. If not, certain offenses have ‘expiration dates’ on how long a victim has to seek prosecution.
Such offenses include rape, aggravated rape, rape of a child, sexual battery by an authority figure, indecent exposure, and public indecency.
