There are lots of prosecutions for sex crimes involving two teenagers sexting each other or having sex across a legal divide even though they're very close in age. Many of these cases are self-evidently BS but they end up in court anyway and sometimes blight people's lives. Getting rid of the statute of limitations will just create further abuses of this type.

Of course that's probably nothing to do with what you had in mind, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
