Protecting Your Rights When Facing A Date Rape Accusation
Date rape is a term that describes a sexual assault by someone known to the victim; it is sometimes called acquaintance rape. Date rape cases can be complicated and challenging, in part because alcohol and drugs often play a significant role. If you have been charged with date rape, it is important to consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. If you are convicted, the stakes can be high and include significant prison time and being listed on the sex offender registry.
