This is going to get interesting.


Either he's completely innocent and wants justice or he's just greedy and wants more than the 8 million he got from the Gov't.

Given like the women's lawyer stated, he was acquitted and not exonerated I wonder if these women testify again and the prosecutors realize that they released a guilty man if they can file an appeal of the acquittal and try him again.

Not siding on this one yet, I don't know enough to as of yet. My question is, It's been 35 years isn't this past some sort of statute of limitations, even for a civil case?

This may answer your question.

Criminal Law
In Canada, a statute of limitations only exists for lesser (summary) crimes and misdemeanors. This extends for a six-month period after the criminal act was committed. After this period has expired, a defendant can no longer be involuntarily prosecuted by the Canadian government for the offense.

More Serious Offenses
For anything other than a summary or misdemeanor offense, there is no statute of limitations in Canada. Therefore, for crimes such as major theft, murder, rape or the like, you can be charged at any point in the future. Warrants have been known to exist for more than 20 years in some cases.

Civil Law
Canada provides a statute of limitations for uncollected debt as well. In 2003, the Canadian Supreme Court decided that future debt could not legally extend beyond six years. Parliament subsequently changed this provision and increased it to a 10-year period.
