Rape & Felony Rape Laws
Rape is one of many sex crimes that are taken very seriously in a court of law. Rape refers to any form of sexual conduct forced on a person against their will through means of violence, menace, duress, fear of injury or other danger, and more. In essence, rape is a non-consensual sexual activity, which means that if an alleged victim is unconscious and cannot give consent to the sex act, then he/she could claim they were raped. Rape cases may be complex because of a number of mitigating circumstances including false accusations, media attention, and more. If you have been accused of rape, it is extremely important to seek legal counsel to ensure your rights and interests are fully protected.
