Time of offense

What does this charge mean?
An indictment does not have to state the exact date the crime was committed, unless the specific date is important to what makes the conduct illegal. Prosecutors can simply say the offense happened sometime before the indictment was filed. This is a procedural flexibility with no criminal penalty for non-compliance.
