A date rape charge may stem from a mistake or a misunderstanding, usually compounded by the presence of alcohol or possibly drugs. When two people have a previous relationship and are voluntarily spending time together, and forced or unwanted sexual intercourse results, you have a situation commonly referred to as date rape.

Date Rape and Alcohol

When two people are intoxicated, even slightly, their judgment at the time and recollection of certain events at a later date may be skewed. A person who did not want to have intercourse or engage in sexual activity may have given no indication whatsoever and may have even been in agreement at the time; then at a later time realized that they did not want to engage in those activities.

Dicks can build a case in your favor that will hold up in a court of law. If you are looking for a dedicated lawyer who will fight to help you stay out of jail, you have come to the right place.
