I'm assuming the point of this is to enourage people to report rapes and to cut down on frivolous "My boyfriend broke up with me, so I'll accuse him of rape and make his life hell" type of revenge ploys, but it seems harsh. I didn't check to see if other forms of assault have the same restrictions. perhaps I shall.
*statutory rape and rape of children has different rules and is exempt from the year reporting clause, as you might guess.
