Clinton cannot be tried again for the same crime under the Fifth Amendment. A motion to expunge Clinton’s record was denied in February 2023.
That might work, if there are causes for federal charges. If she was still in school the feds might be able to have some angle on it. But federal charges for sexual assault are far from being “standard”. More common is bringing a civil case for monetary liability including punitive damages. IANAL so I don’t know whether any of this is possible in this situation.
