If you are talking about pursuing a civil case to sue the perpetrator for money, then the time limit to file a lawsuit does not begin to run until the victim turns 18. There are other factors that may extend it for a number of years.
These are very complicated cases. Our office has handled a number of similar cases. We would be happy to speak to you about the situation. We offer a free initial consultation.
