Riverside Sexual Assault Attorneys
Criminal Defense Lawyers in Southern California
Rape is classified as sexual intercourse without the consent of the other
person. Raped can be charged anytime someone withdraws consent to sexual
activity. What began as consensual sex can become rape if one person changes
his or her mind at any time.
When it comes to sex, only the people involved truly know what took place
between them—and even they can have widely different interpretations.
Misunderstandings of intent and consent can lead to allegations of rape.
If you are being accused of rape or sexual assault, discuss the specifics
of your case to learn your options and how to protect your future.
Exclusively Defending the Accused
At Blumenthal Law Offices, our Riverside rape defense lawyers have
successfully defended countless clients charged with rape. We understand
how to investigate a case, protect your rights, and attack the evidence
and arguments made against you.
We can aggressively defend you against all kinds of sexual offenses, including:
- Unlawful sexual intercourse
- Statutory rape (sex with a minor)
- Date rape
- Aggravated rape
- Marital or spousal rape
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 77 percent of rapes are
committed by someone known to the victim. These can involve false allegations
made for retribution or simply because of miscommunication.
In cases where the accused does not know the victim, we may consult experts
in eyewitness identification to cast doubt in the veracity of the victim's
allegations.
Fighting Relentlessly for the Best Possible Outcome
Throughout the process, we will vigilantly defend your constitutional rights
as we work to get the case against you dismissed or the charges reduced.
Given the stigma and suspicion attached to those accused of sex crimes,
we understand the effects an arrest can have on your job, family life,
and standing in the community. That is why we hold police and prosecutors
to a rigorous standard of procedural justice—insisting on a dismissal
of charges or acquittal when mistakes are made.
