Meanwhile - MD says they can't investigate without a complaint and the statute of limitations has probably expired.

I thought there was no statute of limitations on these types of charges in Maryland. This says as much.

Dr Ford's legal team is failing their client if they aren't reporting this to the local authorities to get that local investigation rolling. If he's guilty of a crime, get him.

Doesn't matter. The FBI is who is supposed to be investigating this and it's Kavanaugh's Background Check that needs investigating. Seriously, we go over and over and over and over this stuff. This has ALWAYS been the case. Always.

For Maryland to get involved Dr. Ford would have to file a complaint. No ****. I know that.

We will see how this plays out...a week from now it's feast or famine. Going to be interesting.

From a WaPoo article

...And even if an accuser went to the local department, the statute of limitations for pursuing the crimes as described in Thursday’s dramatic Senate Judiciary Committee hearing appears to have long since passed.

The most serious crime that authorities could pursue, given the sworn testimony provided by Ford, would be attempted rape. But that was considered a misdemeanor crime in Maryland in 1982, which would be the relevant legal application.

As a misdemeanor, it carried a one-year statute of limitations, meaning charges would have had to have been filed within a year after an incident, according to John McCarthy, Montgomery County’s longtime chief prosecutor; Lisae C. Jordan, the executive director and counsel for the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault; and other longtime Maryland attorneys interviewed in recent days.

The Maryland legislature changed the law in 1996, making attempted rape a felony and removing the statute of limitations, according to McCarthy and Jordan.

“But we’d have to apply the law as it existed at the time of the allegations,” McCarthy said...

She came forward cause it freaked her out that her assaulter might end up on the Supreme Court of the United States. I'd freak out to if my attacker was going on the Supreme Court.

Like Amy Klobuchar said today. This isn't a conspiracy.
 
Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

Attempted Rape was a misdemeanor? What kind of archaic bs is that?

That's 1982. Pretty sure that's accurate from what I've seen.

I'm not questioning the fact just baffled by how ridiculous that is. Is attempted murder also a misdemeanor?!

And before you say it Joe I don't care who came up with the law they deserve all our scorn.

Those are the easy ones to spot. The smarter ones started their accounts 3-5 years ago, have a somewhat American-looking photo, a competent grasp of English, and also re-Tweet non-political stuff to look more legit. There was an article about this not too long ago.

No. Attempted Rape is a misdemeanor in 1982 because of the Patriarchy. Gotta keep them females in line.
