I probably can't add a lot to what I've already said, but one of the things I also said which is related to time is, frankly, the strength of evidence. As Senator Cash would know being a former lawyer herself, there are usually evidentiary problems that arise the longer ago an incident occurred. So I would expect, obviously, the presence of evidence to support an allegation will be an important consideration, and that tends to decrease as time goes on.
