I wonder why it is that Studds was never prosecuted for raping that 17 year old boy in 1983?

Because the age of consent in D.C. was (and still is) 16, and although sodomy was illegal in D.C. at time, the District wasn't prosecuting consensual acts of sodomy.

Do you have any idea what the statute of limitations are in D.C.


As I understand it Studds had his little affair with this kid in 1973.
