For a Felony, it could be years. I would speak with a criminal defense attorney, and go over all the facts, and let the expert direct you. Most criminal law experts offer FREE consultations, so you have nothing to lose, and much wisdom and understanding to gain. I hope that helps. David Wallin

In general, the statute of limitations for a felony such as this is three years. There are some exceptions for sexual assault cases, but assuming this is a felony aggravated assault against an adult, it's three years.
