Luckily for future cases, in December 2020, they removed the statute of limitations for cases 1986-2006:
"Military Rape Cases Have No Statute of Limitations, Supreme Court Decides. In an 8-0 opinion issued Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that military personnel accused of a rape between 1986 and 2006 -- a period previously subject to a five-year statute of limitations -- can be charged for the crime."

They make a good point under the UCMJ all they could do was reduce him in rank as the case was civil and not military.

Congress needs to do away with the statute of limitations for crimes like this

It doesn't if the accusation happened in 1986-2006 - but that was just changed in Dec 2020.
"Military Rape Cases Have No Statute of Limitations, Supreme Court Decides. In an 8-0 opinion issued Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that military personnel accused of a rape between 1986 and 2006 -- a period previously subject to a five-year statute of limitations -- can be charged for the crime."
So when she reported it, there was yes still the statute of limitations. Sadly. While that doesn't help his daughter's case likely, it will help other victims (hopefully).

SFC (Join to see) - maybe if victims know there is no statute of limitations, they will be more likely to come forward

There should be no statute of limitations for child molestation or rape no matter the age of the victim.
