Rape
Rape is an extremely serious crime in California. As with other sex crimes, inmates accused or convicted of rape are oftentimes taunted, harassed, violently assaulted and even killed while in custody. Some inmates will seek to impart “vigilante justice” on persons accused of rape.
If convicted of rape, you may face up to eight years in state penitentiary, up to five additional years if the rape involved great bodily injury, and a fine of up to $10,000. A rape conviction also carries horrible post-incarceration consequences, including registration as a sex offender (under Cal. Pen. Code §290). Additionally, a rape conviction is a “strike” under the Three Strikes Law.
It has been our experience that many persons accused of this crime are the victims of false allegations. Many times, a rape accusation is preceded by a fall-out in a relationship or other circumstance that breeds resentment in the accusing party, causing them to lie about the accused.
But there is hope.
