Olathe Rape Lawyer
What Is Considered Rape?
Engaging in sexual intercourse with a victim who does not give their consent can be grounds for rape charges. Among the various sex crimes, rape has perhaps the most solidified and negative social stigma and causes many people to believe that even mere accusations imply guilt.
Is Rape a Felony?
Kansas Statutes ยง 21-5503 makes any rape offense a felony. Depending on the particular circumstances involved, such as the age of the alleged victim and whether or not force was used, felonies can vary in severity level.
The facts involved in cases will always necessitate unqiue and personalized defense strategies. In addition, certain factors such as the presence of alcohol and any personal history or relationship between alleged victim and offender can greatly impact the scope of cases and their defense.
