'LAPD officials told Page Six on Thursday that they would not be launching a full-scale investigation into the allegations because the statute of limitations has passed.'
“The alleged accordance is out of statue and Robbery/Homicide have no avenues to pursue the case. However, the LAPD applauds Mr. Feldman for coming forward, as an out of statute assault report could potentially bolster any current and forthcoming case as it creates a pattern of behavior. The latest rash of sexual assault reports are particularly troubling and the LAPD encourages and will gladly take a report from anyone who feels they may be a victim,” an LAPD spokesperson said in a statement.'
'It took the department just a few days to decide that they were not interested in pursuing the case, despite the fact that new sex crimes have been popping up in Hollywood on a daily basis after producer Harvey Weinstein was outed in October.'
'Many critics and skeptics of Feldman’s claims have suggested that he is just doing this for money or publicity and that he should have gone to the police to make a formal complaint. However, the quick disregard that this case was given by the LAPD shows that the laws in California are set up in such a way as to make investigating older claims of abuse nearly impossible.'
Read somewhere that California has no limitations. So, maybe that is why there is such a big coverup? No slap on the wrist for a child in Cali? That is why Polanski skeedaddled. If only there could be one big name at a young age to name a Biggie it wood hit the Airwaves Big Time.
Creative Wording, imo. What does that mean, Normal? I would want to read the fine print. Who knows what is applied in Hollywood. That is certainly an choice of words.

I'm a bit confused now - how can they then argue they won't investigate due to the statute of limitation?
Original article was a bit longer than citations above - said something like the st. of l. would be six years for 'normal sexual assaults'.
This would mean assaults on adults?
