Abstract

The paper proposes to critically discuss the foundations and effects of several legislative proposals currently under discussion in our country to declare the offenses of sexual violence against minors not be subject to any statute of limitations, confronting those foundations with those of criminal statute of limitations in general and of criminal action in particular. And also put forward recommendations in the event that such legislative proposals are successful.
