Buffalo Criminal Defense Lawyer
Do you need legal help?
Question:
What are the Charges for Rape in the First Degree?
Answer:
As a dedicated Buffalo Criminal Attorney, I often represent people who were charged with rape in the first degree.
- Rape in the first degree is a Class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in jail.
- Proof of rape in the first degree indicates that the offending party had sexual intercourse with a person less than 13 years old, physically helpless, or incapacitated.
- If you are charged with this very serious offense, contact a criminal defense lawyer in the Buffalo area immediately.
