Stranger rape or sexual assault and battery is a relatively rare offense. In most sexual assault cases, the suspect and the complaining witness know each other. Sometimes they're in a relationship, and in some cases, they're even married to one another. The circumstances of a so-called date rape, acquaintance rape or spousal rape case very much reflect the relationship between the victim and the accused, and the details of the relationship will often point the way toward an effective defense strategy.
Work With an Experienced Utah Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer
Contact the law firm of Greg S. Law, PLLC, in Murray for a free consultation with a criminal defense attorney who understands how to investigate and develop the right defense for the circumstances of your case. Our law firm serves clients throughout the Salt Lake City metro area and in such communities as Ogden, Provo and Orem.
The essential issues in a sex crime case generally revolve around two questions: Did an unlawful sex act occur at all? Was the sex consensual in the eyes of the law? Our experience with the defense of Utah sex crime charges will ensure that your strategy will reflect the specific facts of your situation on each of these points.
In some cases, your defense will turn on the alleged victim's motivation to characterize a consensual sex act as one that was forced in a misguided attempt to avoid problems with a spouse, boyfriend or parent. In other situations, jealousy or a desire for revenge can motivate someone to accuse you of rape.
Whatever the specifics of the charges against you, our goal is to minimize your exposure to punishment through solid trial preparation, forceful advocacy and the elimination or reduction of the most serious charges whenever possible. We also work to minimize your risk of sex offender registration obligations.
