Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration perpetrated against a person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or against a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent. The term rape is sometimes used interchangeably with the term sexual assault.
Allegations of rape or sexual battery are among the most serious charges a person can face. A conviction can carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, sex offender registration, and lasting collateral consequences. Early intervention by an experienced defense attorney is critical to protecting your rights and building the strongest possible defense.
