So I can report it two years later?
Yes, you can still report the incident up to two years later. However, the sooner you report, the better it will be for the investigation.
But what if nothing happens.
If nothing happens after you report, you may consult with a lawyer for further advice. Remember, it's important to have documented evidence to support your claim.
I meant nothing happens sexually and there was no money payment
