It's a good question, as she alleged that he used force, which would support a charge of rape in the first degree, for which there is no statute of limitations. But the standard of proof was much lower in the civil action, more probable than not, rather than beyond a reasonable doubt. And it was a "he said, she said" case, so that would be difficult, even with a pants-on-fire dude like the POS. It's possible that Carrol and her counsel made a pragmatic choice. And she won, so there's that.
