20-year window to prosecute aggravated sex trafficking
The law gives prosecutors 20 years to file charges for Class A and Class B aggravated sex trafficking. It also sets a 20-year window for Class A, B, or C crimes involving unlawful sexual contact or gross sexual assault. The longer window does not apply when a Class D crime is enhanced to Class C under section 1604(5)(B). For aggravated sex trafficking, this applies to crimes on or after the law’s effective date and to older crimes not yet time-barred under prior law.
