Five years but the application of a SL to a specific fact pattern is a complex matter that requires all of the facts and circumstances in the case. It also requires an experienced local attorney.

The statute of limitation for federal crimes is generally 5 years. See 18 USC 3282.
In Ohio, the statute of limitations for civil rights violations under 42 USC 1983 is 2 years.
The coverup of the offense has continued and we believe there is a conspiracy component. Won't the federal law follow the state law as far as tolling through to 2 years after he is no longer in that official position?
