Orlando Statutory Rape Defense Lawyer

Get a Statutory Rape Defense Attorney on Your Side

Statutory rape is considered rape due to the fact that it is a sexual act performed with a minor under the age of 18. Whether the sexual act was consensual or not, the law believes that minors can be influenced and do not have the judgment to refuse or consent to the sexual act. The act therefore becomes rape, with the severe penalties and consequences that charge carries. If you have been charged with statutory rape, contacting an Orlando sex crimes attorney should be your first step in establishing a strong defense.

Statutory rape charges in this state carry sentences of up to 15 years in prison for those who committed sexual acts with a minor. Other penalties can apply, depending on the age of the minor. The law does not allow lack of the person’s age as a defense, even if the minor advised the person that they were over 18. The firm of Katz & Phillips, P.A. has a thorough understanding of statutory rape laws and can provide a level of defense needed to fight these charges. Acting quickly to begin your defense is of the utmost importance.
