Sex Crimes - Rape
Many sexual assaults are prosecuted even if the evidence appears weak or the witness is lacking in credibility. If you are accused of being involved in a sexual assault or related offense, you must speak to an attorney right away to learn more about your rights, defense and the legal system. In most jurisdictions, the definition of rape includes any act using the sexual organs of one or both parties without valid consent from the victim. If you are living in Southern California and are under investigation or have been charged with:
- Rape
- Sexual Assault
- Acquaintance Rape
- Spousal Rape
- Statutory Rape
- Unlawful Penetration
- Sodomy
- Or other related crimes
The Law Offices of Jeffery Rubenstein can aid in your defense. Though sex crimes are considered some of the more heinous crimes in society, people accused of sex crimes have the same rights as any other criminal defendant. You have the legal right to a jury trial, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right against self-incrimination and the right to produce evidence. We will do everything in our power to insure that you have the strongest defense possible, and to garner the best possible outcome for your case. We can assist you with the following:
- Arranging for bail, bail reduction, or being released with a promise to return and appear in court
- Hiring an investigator to collect evidence and testimony favorable to your case
- Negotiating for a reduction of the charges and/or sentence
- Seeking alternative sentencing options such as house arrest, treatment, counseling or probation
Facing a rape or sexual assault charge can be a harrowing experience, even if you are innocent. Rape and sexual assault charges are vigorously prosecuted in the State of California, and as a result, you shouldn’t try to manage the legal system or the outcome of your case on your own.
