Put yourself in his shoes - some girl you groped while making out when you were 14 comes out of nowhere deciding she was sexually assaulted by you.

the state this occurred in has no statute of limitations on attempted rape.
the argument that an investigation would bear no fruit, especially in rape cases, bears no fruit. We have a serious rape problem here and hiding behind the difficulty of investigating rape is no longer acceptable. Combined with sending a horrible message that we give a free lifetime SCJ pass to an alleged rapist.
