In Iowa, the statute of limitations for sexual abuse is generally 10 years from the victim's 18th birthday, or within 10 years of the discovery of the abuse if it occurred when the victim was a minor. There is no statute of limitations for certain sexual abuse cases involving minors if DNA evidence is available, or for cases where the abuse was not reported to law enforcement during the victim's childhood.
