Date rape involves the act of rape when the offender and the victim have a prior relationship. Charges can be made even if there has been a previous sexual relationship if there is a single instance where the victim alleges that sex was non-consensual.
A sex charge conviction can often lead to mandatory sex offender registration, which can quickly become public knowledge. This can be damaging to your reputation and daily life.
Most charges of date rape rely solely on the word of the victim as evidence. This results in a “he said, she said” case that can be aggressively argued by our attorneys.
