Understanding Rape Charges in Pennsylvania

Under Pennsylvania law, rape is defined as engaging in sexual intercourse with another person through forcible compulsion, without the person’s consent, or when the person is incapacitated and unable to consent. A conviction for rape carries severe penalties, including:

- Lengthy Prison Sentences: Depending on the circumstances, a conviction can result in decades of incarceration. Aggravating factors, such as the age of the alleged victim or use of a weapon, can increase the penalties.  
- Mandatory Sex Offender Registration: Individuals convicted of rape must register as sex offenders under Pennsylvania’s Megan’s Law, often for life. This can severely limit your ability to find employment, housing, and rebuild your life.  
- Permanent Stigma: A rape accusation alone can damage your personal and professional relationships, even if you are ultimately found not guilty.  

Frank Walker Law understands the gravity of these charges and works tirelessly to protect your rights and future.

Defenses Against Rape Charges

A strong defense can mean the difference between conviction and acquittal. At Frank Walker Law, we explore every avenue to challenge the allegations against you, including:

- Consent: In many cases, consent is a central issue. We gather evidence and testimony to demonstrate that the encounter was consensual.  

- False Accusations: False allegations can arise from personal disputes, misunderstandings, or ulterior motives. We investigate the background of the accuser and scrutinize their claims to uncover inconsistencies or motives to fabricate the allegations.  

- Insufficient Evidence: The prosecution must prove every element of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. We challenge weak or circumstantial evidence, unreliable witness statements, and questionable forensic evidence.  

- Violation of Your Rights: If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the investigation or arrest, such as conducting an illegal search or failing to read your Miranda rights, we will move to have the evidence suppressed.
