Date Rape & Spousal Rape
Date Rape
What has come to be commonly referred to as “date rape” is a forcible sexual act between two people that have a previous “familiar” relationship, often through a social association. The fact that the two people met up and maybe even were on a voluntary social get-together is not a defense to this type of charge. Often, with cases such as these, consent becomes the main issue. One party will say consent was given while the other alleges it was not. The sex crimes defense lawyers at WILL & WILL, LLP have handled many “date rape” cases. We know how to defend against these often times “he said-she said” situations. If you, a friend, a family member or loved one has been charged with, or is under investigation for, date rape, contact the sex crimes defense firm WILL & WILL, LLP immediately.
Spousal Rape
Many people do not know that this crime exists. According to California state law, spousal rape occurs when one spouse forces the other spouse to have sex without their consent. Commonly, it is the husband that is generally accused of spousal rape. It used to be impossible for a husband to “rape” his wife. However, the law has changed. A married woman has the same right to say “no” to her husband as any woman, married or single, does to anyone. The consequences for such a charge can be severe. Contact the experienced and knowledgeable sex crimes defense attorneys at WILL & WILL, LLP if you or a loved one is accused of committing spousal rape. Very few attorneys have handled these types of cases. At WILL & WILL, LLP, our sex crimes defense attorneys are available for a free consultation today.
