What are the Penalties for Rape?
Rape is considered a felony charge in California, meaning you could be
facing up to eight years in a state prison, or more if you have a prior
record of violent crimes. Additionally, if the victim was a minor, the
jail sentence jumps to anywhere between seven and twelve years in prison.
Additionally, those who are convicted of rape then have a legal duty to
register as a sex offender for the rest of their life.
Fight Back Against Your Charges with Our Help!
Attorney Girdner knows the importance of critically analyzing all of the
evidence available in a rape case to develop a well-orchestrated criminal
defense. This is critical, particularly if you are falsely accused of
this crime, which is unfortunately growing increasingly more common.
We can demonstrate the following possibly applicable rape crime defenses:
- The accuser made false accusations (often out of spite or intent to harm
the accused)
- You honestly believed the intercourse to be consensual
- The physical contact that took place did not include intercourse
- There is insufficient evidence to warrant a conviction
- You did not do the crime, but are a victim of mistaken identity
