Common Penalties For a Statutory Rape Conviction
Statutory rape is a sex crime and sex crimes are harshly punished by the law. In general definition, statutory rape is defined as the act of engaging in sexual intercourse with a person who is under 18 (a minor). The law is determined on a state by state basis so the law in Massachusetts could surprise you. The outcome of your case may also depend on the kind of court you are tried in. This makes it imperative that you work with an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands the law in your case and the specific ways these cases are tried. When you are accused of statutory rape you face time behind bars, monetary penalties and the loss of many freedoms.
