What is the statue of limitations for sexual assault in Michigan? What does that mean to me as a victim?
First-degree criminal sexual conduct, like murder, has no time limit on when someone can be charged. The statute of limitation on second, third and fourth degree criminal sexual conduct is ten years. Michigan law also puts the statute of limitation on hold for crimes where DNA evidence is available but no suspect matching the evidence has been found. For victims, it is never too late to receive medical care, emotional support in the form of professional counseling and/or survivor support groups.
