What is the statute of limitations for child abuse in Michigan?

Answer 1

There is no statue of limitations for child abuse. 18 USC 3283 states:

"No statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude

prosecution for an offense involving the sexual or physical abuse,

or kidnaping, of a child under the age of 18 years shall preclude

such prosecution during the life of the child."

Life of the child indicates whole life also, just not childhood life

Indiana's statute of limitations are based on the seriousness of the crime charged. Murder and Class A Felonies have no limit. Other felonies are set at 5 years with extensions for underage victims as in this case and having DNA evidence. Misdemeanors are set as 2 years. Absence from the state or concealing the evidence can toll the statute.
