I was wondering how Stephen
I was wondering how Stephen Stone could be charged for something that happened so long ago. Here's what I found:
The statutes of limitations for sexual assault crimes in New York is five years, but if the victim was under age 18, the statute of limitations will not start until the child has reached age 18 or the offense is reported to a law enforcement agency or central register of child abuse, whichever occurs earlier.

Forcible compulsion in relation to sexual offences means to compel by use of physical force or by threat. Forcible compulsion places a person in fear of immediate or future death, or physical injury to one's self or another person or in fear that the person or another person will immediately or in future be kidnapped. (WOW..Mr Personality!)
