what we need is a law making teacher/child rape cases not expirable...
Yes, but this case was not about punishing the teacher. This was going after the deep pockets of the school system. If the stated aim is "making sure this never happens again," then firing those responsible for looking the other way is how you accomplish that, not by giving the administrators a free pass and hitting the taxpayers for a ton of money (and making an ambulance chaser rich in the process).
