Statutory Rape Put Our Decades of Criminal Defense Experience in Your Corner

Statutory Rape Defense Lawyer In Boise: (208) 286-2111

Targeting Acquittal, Dismissal, or Leniency in Your Case

The reality is that almost all statutory rape cases come to light only because someone - the alleged victim, or more often, a parent or other relative - reports them. A variety of motives can enter into the decision to press charges or prosecute a case.

Defense Strategies for Statutory Rape Charges

  • Refuting that sexual intercourse ever took place between you and the alleged victim in order to gain an acquittal at trial
  • Presenting all relevant circumstances and positive testimony on your behalf effectively in a concerted effort to get charges reduced or obtain probation rather than jail time or other harsh consequences

What Is Statutory Rape?

Under Idaho Code §18-6101, statutory rape consists of any penetration where: the victim is younger than 16 years-old and the defendant is at least 18 years-old, or. where the victim is 16 or 17 years of age and the defendant is at least 3 years older than the victim. Further, a statutory rape charge does not require any allegation that force or coercion was a factor. The potential logical problems and fairness issues with this law may be obvious, but those issues are no comfort if you have been arrested and charged with statutory rape. Jail time is a real possibility, along with irreparable damage to your reputation.

Other forms of sexual contact with a person under 18 may not be charged as rape or statutory rape, but the consequences associated with a crime such as sexual battery of a minor, lewd and lascivious conduct or other sex offenses can be equally severe.
