Statutory Rape Lawyers

 

So you got yourself into a bit of a situation, and now you need a statutory rape lawyer.

First off—don’t panic. Let’s take a deep breath together. This whole statutory rape law thing is tricky, but you’ve come to the right place to get the lowdown.

As your new best friend who also happens to be an amazing statutory rape lawyer, I’m here to walk you through this step-by-step. First up: what exactly is statutory rape? Basically, it’s when someone over the age of consent has sex with someone under the age of consent. The age of consent varies by state, but it’s usually around 16 or 18 years old.

So if you’re 19 and your partner is 15, that’s considered statutory rape in most states even if the 15-year-old consented. Consent doesn’t matter when it comes to statutory rape laws. The law sees minors under the age of consent as unable to consent at all—so sex with them breaks the law, period.

Defenses

Now, there are still defenses we can use to chip away at the charges:

  • Consent – Even though a minor can’t legally consent, we may be able to argue they actively initiated sex and you had no reason to think they were underage. This can sometimes reduce charges.
  • Romeo and Juliet Laws – Many states make exceptions for consensual sex between minors or minors and young adults within a few years of age. This gets rid of statutory rape charges entirely.

See, there’s hope! An experienced statutory rape attorney will leave no stone unturned looking for ways to reduce or dismiss your charges.

Call me now for a free case review, and let’s get started fighting this together. I can’t make any guarantees, but I can promise to defend you with everything I’ve got.
