Statutory Rape
Statutory Rape Defense Lawyers
If you have been charged with rape or rape of a child, you face serious penalties if convicted. In Washington State, a person convicted of rape of a child under sixteen will be sentenced to the minimum number of years in prison and may be given an "indeterminate sentence"—a sentence that may mean life in prison. In addition, the person will be required to register as a sex offender.

Sexual abuse of a child
Child sexual abuse charges are sometimes used as a ploy in divorce or custody proceedings or stem from a child's attention-getting behavior. If you are a parent, relative, coach, teacher, or neighbor and have been accused of inappropriate behavior or rape, our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation, including an interview with the alleged victim, to collect the information necessary to defend you effectively.
Statutory rape, intercourse with a minor, date rape
Our lawyers are prepared to defend those accused of having consensual sexual contact with a minor under the age of consent. In Washington state the age of consent is sixteen, but no school employee is allowed to have consensual sexual relations with a student under the age of eighteen. The attorneys also are prepared to help those accused of date rape, including the use of date rape drugs such as Rohypnol and GHP.
