Send to a Friend

My friend got raped and wants to sue, how can she go about this?

This is a pretty serious situation. Of course I’ll try my best to elaborate without getting into details.

My friend got raped when she was a minor by someone 20–21 years old. Yes, he’s still around, he was her friend (of course not anymore since then).

She wants to do something about it but doesn’t know how. It’s been quite a while, she’s gone through a lot of trauma and therapy, and apparently she can only present a case five years after being 18, and time is almost up. This happened in New Jersey, just to let you know, because I have no idea how the laws about this are in different states. But this happened in New Jersey.

Now. . .I know I have an AIM conversation between us a very long time ago the day after it happened. She messaged me about it. I have no idea if that would help, nor what that would mean for me. In other words, does that mean I would have to be in on this too and show myself? The other thing is, I think I may have just copied and pasted the convo to a notepad document. I don’t think it’s the official AIM log. So I don’t think that would hold up very well, if at all.

I know the times change with the laws, so just that you are aware, it happened in 2006.

Any information, ideas and help would be appreciated.
