It is essential to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer if you find yourself facing sexual crime charges. They can help you protect your rights and ensure you are treated fairly during the criminal process. Rape is one of the most serious criminal offenses and can result in severe punishment. Even if there has never been a conviction for rape, it can cause severe damage to one’s reputation. Contact Ernest J Bauer Jr Law Office LLC.
A conviction for rape can result in life imprisonment and mandatory registration as a sex offender, depending on the circumstances. Even if a person is convicted, they may still face collateral consequences that make it difficult to find housing, get a job, and acquire a license or loan. Do not wait to get a Covington attorney for sex crimes if you are arrested and charged with the crime of rape. Your case’s outcome could depend on how prompt you act and what quality attorney you choose.

It is illegal in Louisiana and across the country for anyone over 18 to have sexual relations with a minor under 17 years old. The law presumes that minors are incapable of consenting, and the act is considered rape. An individual convicted of rape may be punished with a fine and incarcerated. Louisiana offers a “Romeo & Juliet” exemption that allows minors to have sex with a teen, despite being close in age. To discuss your defense options, you must contact an attorney.
