One sexual crime that is severely and aggressively prosecuted in California is rape.
Because of this, it is important to seek a trustworthy defense lawyer if you have been accused of rape.
Some rape charges are the result of false accusations, while others lack the evidence to prove that a rape occurred.
It takes a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to successfully argue a rape case in California.
Rape is defined by California law as an act of sexual intercourse under any of the following conditions:
- The victim is incapable of giving consent because of disability or disorder
- The perpetrator uses force, violence, or injury to accomplish intercourse
- The victim is unable to consent because of intoxication that should be reasonably apparent to the perpetrator
- The victim is unconscious of the nature of the act because he or she is asleep, unaware the act occurred, or mislead by the perpetrator
- The perpetrator threatens to use force in the future or to cause other harm
In rape cases, defenses may include insufficient evidence, mistaken identity or arguing that the victim is not telling the truth.
Rape charges without factual evidence usually involve the victim's word over the accused.
If you are falsely accused of rape in California, you need to find a defense attorney who can work with you to establish a credible
defense to protect your rights.

if convicted, will damage your record and your social status.
