Charged with the crime of Rape in the San Fernando Valley?
Rape is an extremely serious crime, punishable by up to 13 years in prison under certain circumstances. Rape is a “strike” under California’s Three Strikes Law.
Rape is sexual intercourse without the victim’s consent by force, fear violence, threats or other conduct against the victim’s will. The most common rape charge occurs when a man uses physical force to accomplish an act of sexual penetration against a woman. Separate “sexual assault” charges could be filed if the penetration occurs with a foreign object or other body parts.
If you or a loved one have been arrested for rape, it is critical to immediately hire a criminal defense attorney specializing in rape and sexual assault defense. Rape cases are highly complex and intense prosecutions, and you must have a defense lawyer by your side that knows exactly how to defend these charges. You need a rape defense lawyer that knows how to properly cross-examine and challenge alleged rape victims, work with sex crimes prosecutors and detectives and that understands the science behind rape cases. A criminal lawyer that does not regularly defend people charged with rape in not qualified to assist you.
