Hi. Is there any legal action that can be taken for child molestation that happened 20 years ago? I understand that, due to the statute of limitations and the lack of strong child protection laws at that time, no criminal action may be possible. But is there any other form of legal action that can be taken now?
Even though the abuse happened 20 years ago, you can still take legal action in India if it was a serious offence like rape or sexual assault there is no time limit for that. You can file a police complaint (FIR) now. You may also be eligible for compensation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
