Rhode Island H8086 extends the statute of limitations for second-degree sexual assault to 10 years from the offense date or until the victim turns.

Rhode Island H8086 amends the statute of limitations for second-degree sexual assault, setting it at 10 years from the date of the offense or until the victim turns 18, whichever is later. This change aims to provide more time for victims, particularly those under 18 at the time of the offense, to come forward and seek justice. The bill also modifies the statute of limitations for third-degree sexual assault to begin from the victim's 18th birthday, not the date of the offense. This act would take effect immediately upon passage.
