Rape Defense Attorney in Milwaukee, WI
Defending Those Who Have Been Accused of Rape in Wisconsin
Being investigated for or charged with rape is a serious matter which can have severe negative consequences on your life before you even begin to face the legal process. Often, individuals accused of rape find their reputation tainted causing personal relationships, employment, and other aspects of their lives jeopardized. Because of this potential damage, you may want such charges to be kept as private as possible. As a Milwaukee rape attorney, I understand how stressful and difficult this situation may be. By contacting me as early as possible, I can help you by preparing a solid criminal defense that is personalized to your case. If you enlist my help even before formal charges have been made, I can then go and negotiate with the district attorney and prosecutor and possibly avoid the filing of any criminal charges.
Conviction of rape carries sentences which include imprisonment, fines, restitution, community service, probation, and possible mandatory sex offender registration. In the Wisconsin state code section 948.01 you will find the definition of the different sex crimes including statutory rape which is the sexual contact between two people which is illegal due to the "age of consent" rule, or legal age in which the victim is able to cognitively agree and consent to the sexual act.
Generally the age of consent is around 18 years old and anyone older than that is considered mature enough to consent or deny sexual contact. Penalties vary depending on the circumstances, but the more years and age difference between the offender and the minor the more serious the penalties will be. It is important to remember that just because you have been arrested and charged with rape, doesn't mean you will be convicted. Remember that you are innocent until proven guilty and with a hard-hitting attorney fighting in your corner, your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome are far greater.
