The criminal law is not the be all, end all. It's too arbitrary. We are not bound by it's conclusions. Neither it nor the civil law come with a period of time one must forgive and forget. If someone chooses to commit sexual violence and then runs for office, they can't demand their victims be quiet or that the public ignore it. That goes whether there was legal action or not.
