    I’ve read this like 3 times and idk what I’m not getting here that means they can’t be tried other than them saying “uhhh we’re straight up protecting pedophiles”

      It goes further than that. They're straight up protecting anybody who has committed any form of SA long enough ago that they can only be charged under "lookback window" laws, because they think being tried after such a long time frame violates the right to due process.
