A: There is a statute of limitations on crimes (just like any legal cause of action).
Simple assault is a 2nd degree misdemeanor and the SOL is 1 year. Aggravated assault is a 3rd degree felony and the SOL is 3 years.
Please take a look at my Avvo Legal Guide on speedy trial and statute of limitations issues in Florida. It contains a great deal of information and may be helpful to you.
