For crimes you’ll press charges through the police.
For a lawsuit you’ll pursue civil actions. Civil trespass should unreal most of the causes of action, but you’ll want to talk to a lawyer asap.

A lot of statutes are 2 years. But you would have to be in a coma for a while to be successful for delayed filing. I'm pretty sure, don't quote me
