Child molestation

I have a client who was molested as a child.  The accused has admitted same.  What are the time limits for criminal prosecution?  The acts occurred in CA and LA.  The victim would like to at the very least have this person have to register as a sex offender b/c he very often has children in his home.  Any information is greatly appreciated.

[Time limitationfor certain sex offensesFor the following offenses committed against avictim under 17, 30-year time limit which begins to run when victim attains the age of18]

Here's the info, but they don't have to register as an offender unless convicted, and the longer after the incident, the harder it is to convict. Also, we don't do CA law, their laws may differ significantly.
====================================
LA. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 571.1 Time limitationfor certain sex offensesFor the following offenses committed against avictim under 17, 30-year time limit which begins to run when victim attains the age of18:• Sexual battery (§ 14:43.1)• Second degree sexual battery (§ 14:43.2)• Oral sexual battery (§ 14:43.3)• Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile(§ 14:80)• Indecent behavior with juveniles (§ 14:81)• Molestation of a juvenile (§ 14:81.2)• Crime against nature (§ 14:89)• Aggravated crime against nature (§14:89.1)• Incest (§ 14:78)

Seems like I read somewhere one time that it takes many victims about that long to sort it all out in their minds, face it, move past denial and fear of rejection and being not believed; and finally tell someone.  How sad.
