A new Iowa law eliminates the statute of limitations to bring criminal charges for several sexual abuse-related crimes committed against minors. Today, Iowa stands in support of survivors of sexual violence as we become the 14th state to eliminate the statute of limitations for these heinous crimes, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement after signing the bill Wednesday.
The new law, Senate File 562, will eliminate the statute of limitations for crimes against children under 18, including sexual abuse, incest, sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
Iowa law previously barred charges for those crimes from being brought after either 10 or 15 years had passed since a minor turned 18 years old, depending on the crime. Charges could also come up to three years after an offender was identified through a DNA profile, if that date came after the other statute of limitations period.
