The question of the imprescriptibility of the rape

The Polanski case also raises the question of the imprescriptibility of rape. A problem "already raised during the examination of the text on sexual violence, in August 2018", explains Nicole Belloubet. It develops what has been done: "We have extended the prescription to thirty years and after the majority for the minor victims." The imprescriptibility is unconstitutional, with the exception of crimes against humanity. to establish evidence beyond the age of 30. This is a solution that is both consistent with the rights and interests of victims. "
