Argued on December 4, 2018. 

Issues: 

I. Does the 2006 amendment to Article 43, UCMJ, clarifying that rape is an offense with no statute of limitations, apply retroactively to offenses committed before enactment of the amendment but for which the then extant statute of limitations had not expired. 

II. Can Appellant successfully raise a statute of limitations defense for the first time on appeal.
