Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Is there a statue of limitations on a lewd and lascivious act on a minor (15 yrs.) that happened almost 33 years ago? The perpetrator was a police officer at the time...and is now the police chief. It was never reported but he did admit to the acts to his friends.
