Don't know but an interesting argument for prosecutors to consider which, I'm sure they have. From what I understand the hush money didn't begin until the mid 2000's which would have made it some 20 years plus after the sexual abuse occured.
Just wish the law placing a statute of limitation on sexual abuse/rape crimes was changed and I think the Denny Hastert Law would be a apropos name.
Read not too long ago that over 75% of women locked up in Cook County Jail were victims of sexual abuse some time in their lives. As I stated before a victim of abuse lives with it for a lifetime so I think an abuser/offender should as well be prosecutable over a lifetime.
