Would need a starting point


From what I've read she doesn't know where it occurred. So there is the problem of what law enforcement agency would investigate and what prosecutor/court system would have venue? She isn't sure of when it occurred? It's ok to charge in an indictment "on or about" but you need to be pretty close. The law changes over time, so you need to establish what the law was at that moment in time. Even a small change in the Code may be critical to the case. Someone posted earlier that defendants are consider adults in Maryland at 17. Was that the standard in the 1980's and can the age of the accused be established for certain at the time of the offense? You may have to try this in juvenile court. I don't know about Maryland but in Virginia even if the accused is an adult, the matter starts in Juvenile Court if the victim is under age. So, it's a lot that would have to be worked out.
