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.
