[QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 83162, member: 860"]
Like I posted earlier today, that's something I don't understand.  Let's assume he [I]was[/I] being molested until he was 27.  That would have meant it was going on until 1999.  He says he went to the police in 2003, but was told the statute of limitations had expired, and that's why it didn't get investigated.

I realize that it was no longer a "child molestation" case in 1999 due to the fact that he was over 19, but wouldn't it have been sexual assault?  And if so, wouldn't the SOL have not yet expired?  Surely the statute of limitations on sexual assault in NY is more than 4 years?  If he told the police in 2003 that he had continued to be subjected to unwanted sexual contact until 1999, wouldn't/shouldn't they have at least looked into it?

I'm not sure what happened here, but this part of the story just doesn't make sense to me.  Either the Syracuse Police failed to follow through properly in 2003, or the "this happened until I was 27" part was added later.
