Central Valley's Leading Criminal Defense Attorneys
Under California law, date rape is the act of rape where the victim and alleged offender have a prior relationship. Charges for date rape can even be made where the people previously had a sexual relationship, if there is even one incident where the victim claims the sex was not consensual.
Penalties for Date Rape
Conviction for date rape, like other sex crime convictions, can result in mandatory sex offender registration. Sex offender registration becomes public knowledge, and will follow you for the rest of your life. This can greatly impact your reputation and daily life. In addition to having to register as a sex offender, you could be facing anywhere from three to eight years in jail and fines up to $10,000.
