The adjective form of the word "allege" is "alleged." It is used to describe something that is claimed or asserted without proof, often in legal contexts. For example, one might refer to an "alleged crime" or "alleged perpetrator."
The victim could bring a suit against the alleged perpetrator in civil court but if the alleged rapist was not convicted the first time around, the case could not be heard again in criminal court, that would be double-jeapordy.
An alleged perpetrator, particularly in cases of domestic violence or child abuse, may be required to pay child support if they are the non-custodial parent. Even if there are allegations against them, their financial responsibilities toward their children typically remain intact unless a court decides otherwise. Child support is focused on the welfare of the child, and legal determinations regarding custody and support are made based on the best interests of the child, irrespective of the allegations against a parent.
In North Carolina, it depends on the severity of the crime. If it is a felony, there is no statute of limitations. The charges can be filed at any time during the life of the alleged perpetrator.
In some cases, the discovery of the crime will toll the clock. Another is the alleged perpetrator being absent from the jurisdiction. Moving to another state doesn't protect one.
The opposite of perpetrator is victim.
Perpetrator is the correct spelling.
The perpetrator was caught on camera stealing from the store.
Not unless this bad thing that one of the parents have done is recent and was indangering the child.

"detection of the Perpetrator of the Maine Outrage."
A "lineup" is a group of five or six people, one of which is the likely perpatrator, who are paraded onto a well-lit stage screened from the audience watching them. Most of the people in the lineup are ordinary people with airtight alibis (building employees) or other police officers in plainclothes. They cannot see the people viewing them. One or more of those viewers is the witness to a crime, or the victim of a crime. If they select the alleged perpetrator as the criminal, that weighs heavily on whether or not that person will be arrested ("eyewitness identity"). If they pick an anonymous person, the alleged perpetrator is off the hook. It's effective enough of the time that police departments continue to use it regularly.
