Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

It is too late for your victimization to be prosecuted. The CSC statute of limitations (deadline for filing criminal charges) in this kind of case is 6 years after the crime date or 6 years after the victim turns 21, whichever is later. So, that deadline passed by decades ago (and the statute of limitations back then may have actually just been "6 yrs after the crime date"). As for your son's victimzation, the same things applies. So, if he is currently 27 years old or older, it is too late to file criminal charges. That said, I feel terribly for what you and your family have endured. Sexual victimization causes emotional injuries that are usually worse than broken bones. Children may not even understand that they were being victimized (they don't know that it is not allowed, not normal, etc.). And, in too many cases, these victims reinact with others what they endured themselves ... so the baton is passed to another generation. And, as you noted, it also affects how they interact in later relationships. Trust once broken is hard to mend. If you have not done so yet, talk to counselors or therapists, please. They can help you heal.
