What is Rape?

Under common law, Rape is the unlawful carnal knowledge of a women by a man, not her husband, without her consent. Originally, rape required that a man penetrate a women’s sex organ with that of his own, and a women was unable to be convicted of Rape unless she aided or abetted the commission of the crime or was a conspirator of the crime.

Whether its First or Second Degree Rape, the punishments for such a crime nonetheless will result in a jail sentence. Don’t let this happen to you. If you or a loved one is accused of rape, it is important that you act soon, even before a charge is brought.
