No charges possible for priests after child sex abuse investigation, North Dakota AG says

[TexasTowelie]

BISMARCK — North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says that after a lengthy investigation, criminal charges won't be filed against any priests or other Catholic officials accused of sexually abusing children in the state.

The Bureau of Criminal Investigation found that two living priests could have faced criminal charges for allegedly abusing children. However, the statute of limitations has run out, Stenehjem said Monday, Jan. 4.

“I regret it will not be possible to have these men face their victims at a trial and face the potential consequences, but I hope it brings a measure of comfort to the victims that these crimes were eventually investigated,” Stenehjem said in a statement.

Stenehjem’s BCI spent 18 months reviewing files from the Fargo and Bismarck dioceses to determine whether criminal charges could be brought. Saturday, Jan. 2, marked the one-year anniversary of the two dioceses releasing their lists of 53 priests and other religious members who faced substantiated allegations of child sex abuse.

1. No statute of limits for lifetime mental problems for victims.

No statute of limits on how much money victims have to pay to get therapy or pay for meds to help them to somewhat maintain a normal life.

So, why should there be a statute of limits on the assholes who caused all of this?

This is one of the most stupid laws or rules or whatever they consider it to be.
