Denver Date Rape Attorney

Date rape is a colloquial or slang phrase for sexual assault. In a date rape case, the victim typically knows the accused party.

Date rape is essentially nonconsensual sexual contact during a voluntary social engagement where the victim did not intend on sexual contact or provided no consent. A victim does not have to physically object to sexual contact to demonstrate lack of consent. If a victim is intoxicated, he or she is incapable of giving consent.

The extreme complexity that these cases present can create significant difficulty for both the prosecution and defense. “Roofies” (Rohypnol) or alcohol may inhibit the victim’s memory. The complexities of toxicology as well as consent may make for very complicated court cases.

Denver Date Rape Defense Lawyer

Because I have worked on complex criminal defense cases for more than two decades, I am able to reach out to a network of experts, including toxicologists, to put forth the strongest defense possible for clients who have been charged with date rape.

It is important to note that it is never a good idea to speak to investigators on these types of cases. Very rarely are investigators looking for someone to clear himself or herself, but any evidence or testimony they obtain can be detrimental to a defendant.

If you have been accused or charged with a sex crime, I encourage you to get in touch as soon as possible to begin protecting your rights. As an attorney, I offer free confidential consultations and treat every client with respect as we work through the process together.
