Have you been charged with rape?

Rape is felony offense defined by the state of Florida as having sexual intercourse with an individual without that individual's consent, through the use of force, drugs or taking advantage of their incapacitated state.  Like most violent crimes, sexual battery offenses like rape carry severe penalties if a conviction is obtained.   The minimum punishment for rape is 9 years in prison but can result in a life sentence.  Additional penalties can include restitution to the victim, mandatory counseling and registration on the publicly accessible national sex offender registry.   A charge of statutory rape or "unlawful sexual activity with a minor" can also result in harsh penalties.   Depending on the exact circumstances and nature of the alleged statutory rape, a sentence may be obtained of up to 15 years imprisonment.
