We Protect Your Rights Every Step of the Way
Statutory rape is generally defined as sexual intercourse with a child under the age of sixteen. Contrary to popular belief, statutory rape charges can be brought against both adults and minors. For example, a seventeen year old can be charged with the statutory rape of a fifteen year old.
Please note, the law does not take into account if the relationship is consensual. If convicted of statutory rape, you face harsh penalties, including a long prison sentence. You may also be required to register as a sex offender.
