Criminal cases are filed by the State of Maryland on behalf of a victim. In order to file criminal charges, you must notify law enforcement of the sexual abuse. The authorities will investigate your claims and a prosecutor may file charges against your abuser. If a suspect is found guilty of criminal conduct, he or she may be sentenced to significant jail time and sex offender registration.
In Maryland, the criminal statute of limitations varies depending on the severity of the offense. The criminal statutes of limitations include:
Felony sexual offenses: no statute of limitations, and
Misdemeanor offenses: one year from the event.
both were minors and what it sounds like from her story it falls as a misdemeanor sexual abuse under Sexual offense in the 4th degree....that is a misdemeanor and it has a 1 year statue of limitation from the event. https://maryland-criminallawyer.com/...s-lawyer/laws/
but if think she has a case under Felony sexual offense (she don't under the law) she can contact the Maryland police..,,,,,,,if she would have filed back in 1982 and she had the evidence, it would have been filed as a 4th degree sexual offense which is a misdemeanor and it has a 1 year statue of limitations to file a report.
Sorry but you're wrong, try reading this:
The allegations appears to make out a case for attempted sexual assault, or what the Maryland statutes might call attempted sexual offense in the second degree. That law says that it’s a felony for someone to ” engage in a sexual act with another … by force, or the threat of force, without the consent of the other.” A separate statute says that even an attempt of this offense is a felony that can be punishable with up to 20 years in prison.
Of course, proving such a thing could be difficult, depending on what Kavanaugh actually did before she escaped from the room. If he didn’t do anything sexual, a sex offense charge could be tougher to prove, but he still could be open to a lesser charge for assault. In Maryland, assault in the second degree includes unwanted physical contact, attempted unwanted physical contact, or even causing a person to have apprehension of unwanted physical contact. This offense is a misdemeanor, but is still punishable with imprisonment, so under Maryland law there is no statute of limitations.
Maryland also has a common law offense of false imprisonment, which involves keeping a person somewhere against their will. While the woman reportedly did escape from the room, the accusation that Kavanaugh held her down could support such an allegation. https://lawandcrime.com/legal-analys...minal-charges/
so you have 65 women who knew him since high school vouching for his character but that sounds bs to you?.....but 1 anonymous accuser who only wanted to remain anonymous has already passed a polygraph to show she's telling the truth about the thing she didn't want to tell anyone about....and you don't find this bs or weird?
so...if some guy decides to bust all your teeth out because he doesn't like the way you look and then he proceeds to rob you, he can make it all go away by naming 65 people who will state under oath that he never busted their teeth out or robbed them?

Don't quit your day job. It sounds like you skimmed over some of the elements of third-degree sexual assault.
Also, this still isn't a criminal proceeding. It's a political confirmation hearing where public opinion matters, and the standard for public opinions is not "beyond a reasonable doubt." If it were, we wouldn't still be hearing about Hillary's e-mails or FISA warrant shenanigans.
He doesn't need to be convicted of a crime to lose the vote for Supreme Court. They don't have a rule that says a NO vote requires a criminal prosecution or evidence. They can vote NO based on character if they choose. Or along party lines. Or they can vote NO because there are lots of secret documents that were purposely held back. Or they can vote NO because the vote was pushed too soon before an investigation could be done on the matter.

I agree and while I am quite sure there won't be any criminal prosecution I was responding to the poster who was telling us that he couldn't be prosecuted for it.
So he (allegedly) did this when he was....16? Drunk? Are you freakin' serious? And he was confirmed as a Circuit Judge?
Dear God...for $@*#~ sake, what have liberals come to?
Did you really mean to post that it is okay to attempt to rape girls if you are young and drunk?
Seriously?
