Statute
“We don't turn people away because things are out of statute. You come to us, especially with a sexual allegation, we will work with you. We address these things seriously, and it's not just because it's Mr. Cosby.”
-Charlie Beck (Los Angeles Police Department Chief) on willingness to investigate claims of sexual assault against Bill Cosby even if past the statute of limitations — quoted in "LAPD chief vows to investigate Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations" by Kate Mather and Richard Winton (Los Angeles Times, December 4, 2014)
