Charged with Rape?
Riverside Criminal Defense Lawyer
Rape is the act of sexual intercourse against the will of the victim. This includes circumstances in which the victim had the inability to protest, for example, due to unconsciousness, a drugged state, or mental incapacity. In instances where the victim is known to the accused and voluntarily associating with them before the incident, this is known as date rape. Sexual intercourse with a minor, even if the minor claims to have consented, is classified as statutory rape.
If you have been accused of rape, it is vital you contact a Riverside criminal lawyer immediately. Rape is a felony which can carry harsh penalties such as heavy fines, prison time, loss of some civil rights and mandatory rehabilitation. Registration as a sex offender is required if convicted. The social stigma attached to a rape accusation, even if the charges are dropped, can destroy one's life.
