Vestavia Rape Defense Lawyer
Put a Former Prosecutor on Your Side
According to the FBI, there were over 83,000 forcible rapes in the United States in 2011. Of those, only 46 percent of the victims reported the crime to the police. Many of these victims fear retaliation from their attackers, and some fear being blamed for their own assaults. In some cases, a person may falsely accuse someone of rape. If this happens to you, it's vital to get an experienced Vestavia rape lawyer on your side.
Common Defenses for Rape Accusations
Facing a rape accusation can be a daunting and potentially life-altering event. It's crucial to understand the legal defenses that are commonly employed in such cases to ensure the accused's rights are protected. These may include:
- Consent: The defense might argue that the alleged victim had given their consent to engage in the sexual activity. Documentation, witness testimonies, or other corroborative evidence can be used to substantiate this claim.
- Mistaken Identity: The accused may contend that the alleged victim has incorrectly identified them, especially in cases where the identification was made under stressful conditions or after a significant period.
- False Accusations: The defense may claim that the allegations are entirely false, possibly motivated by revenge, jealousy, or other personal reasons.
- Alibi: The accused can provide an alibi, demonstrating that they were at another place at the time of the alleged incident, and thus could not have committed the crime.
