The issue of eliminating the statute of limitations on sex crimes has come up for public debate in recent years with increasing frequency. It was discussed in the context of the Alon Kastiel case, as well as in the case of former President Moshe Katsav, and now again in the wake of the revelations about Yehuda Meshi-Zahav that were detailed in Haaretz’s investigative report last week.
Such cases and similar ones make it clear that the statute of limitations protects sex offenders, and this is no longer acceptable, if it ever was. It’s problematic both because it poses a significant obstacle that prevents victims from complaining – as was well explained by attorney Ayelet Razin Bet Or, legal adviser of the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel – and because it provides sex offenders with a means of defense.
