The question needs to be more specific, like what type of assault and the age of the victim. For example, if the person is a MINOR and SEXUALLY assaulted, both state and federal law might come into play. With the exception of death penalty cases, the statute of limitation for most crimes is seven (7) years. Please note that there are exceptions to the statute--e.g., it does not include years the suspect lived outside the state or if the identity of the offender is unknown. There are also exceptions for government & fudiciary persons.
A typical capital case has a limit of 7 years in Georgia. Otherwise it would be 4 years. Murder has no limitation. Forcible rape has a 15 year limit.
If the crime is considered a felony: 4 years, if considered a misdemeanor: 2 years.
There is no special limitation or extension for different categories of professions.
There is no statute of limitation for attempted murder in any state.
There are no SOL's for domestic assault.
No
2 years
Charges cannot be filed once the statute of limitations has passed. There may be ways of tolling the start of the time.
The penalties for domestic violence in Georgia depend on the facts of each individual case. Where there just verbal threats, or was there actual, physical violence? Do you have any prior convictions? Was a weapon used? All of these things will be considered by the judge during the case proceedings. The penalties for a domestic violence conviction may include a jail sentence, probation, fines, anger management or domestic violence courses.
For a felony or domestic violence conviction of any sort? No.
Charge- yes. Conviction- no.

You need to find a lawyer familiar with firearms law and explain your situation.
Revised answer: If this offense is classified as a family/domestic violence offense under the Georgia criminal code - such crimes are ineligible for expungement in every state that I am aware of.
Depends on what the misdemeanor WAS. A crime of domestic violence or drug use will be a bar to gun ownership under FEDERAL law.
The short answer is, if you are a felon, you can't own a gun. It doesn't matter whether you pled guilty or were found guilty. Felony on your record = no guns.
Yes I did 5 years
Difference between a charge and a conviction. Will also make a difference if there is a restraining order associated with this, and if is classed as Domestic Violence. You should check with the Georgia State Police.
