Provo Date Rape Defense Lawyer
Allegations of date rape seem to be increasing. Sometimes such allegations are false – sometimes they are true. Regardless of whether the allegations are true or false, Utah rape charges are detrimental to a person’s reputation.
There are a number of problems with date rape. For example, the evidence supporting date rape is often unsubstantiated and without witnesses. Many women do not seek medical treatment so there is no rape kit evidence. Some alleged victims have no memory of anything happening and merely have a feeling. Often times the alleged victim and perpetrator are intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. In other cases the alleged victim actually gave her consent to engage in sexual relations.
Because of the nature of date rape allegations extensive investigation must be conducted on the part of the criminal defense attorney and his staff to make sure that every harmful and beneficial fact is brought to light. Like all of our cases, our firm takes these cases very seriously because we know that all too often innocent people are charged with date rape who in reality did nothing.
Potential Consequences of a Conviction for Date Rape
A night of partying can land you in a lot of trouble if accusations of date rape are brought against you. Date rape is a felony charge and can result in state prison time if you are convicted. A conviction will also result in having to register as a sex offender. That means your mug shot will be plastered all over the internet for anyone to see, so even after prison time your life will continue to be haunted by the conviction.
