You should still be within the statute, but I recommend that you contact a lawyer immediately to look into your claim. The statute of limitations for intentional torts (or "bad acts") is three years in Wisconsin. That being said, you never want to wait any longer than necessary to file a complaint. See a lawyer immediately.
