Serious Penalties with a Rape Conviction

In the context of a Georgia court of law, the felony crime of rape occurs when one or more people commit an act of sexual assault against a non-consenting person. In Georgia, sexual intercourse is necessary for the crime to be considered rape, and it is often perpetrated through physical force, under threat of violence or some other type of harm such as extortion, or occurs with someone who can neither communicate, nor give consent.

Rape is one of the more serious crimes a person can commit, with defendants facing 10 to 20 year sentences, life in prison or even death in some cases.

The sooner you act, the stronger defense can be constructed, and the better chance you have of avoiding conviction.

Protecting your Rights in Court

Rape charges can be very complicated because they are based in large part on witness testimony, mostly from the accuser and the accused. There are rarely any witnesses in cases of rape, which means the jury’s decision could come down to judgments of character. This can be dangerous for men accused of rape.
