I'd agree in that scenario but the evidence in rape cases is almost always nothing more than "he dun did it to me sobs", so extending the statute of limitations for it is almost certainly going to do a lot more harm than good.
Also, "sex crimes" is a lot more expansive than just rape - poked a female coworker in the butt 15 years ago when everyone in the workplace was being silly, before PC culture infested it? OFF TO JAIL YOU GO

If that is the case, that seems a bigger problem than the statute of limitations. Hell, if you can just accuse based on literally nothing, then why not make your accusation fit the limitations?
