What Is Considered Rape in New Jersey?

Rape is one of the most serious sex crimes in New Jersey. If you are convicted of rape, you will face mandatory prison time, thousands of dollars in fines, and a lifetime of being a registered sex offender. Because of the serious consequences of a rape conviction, you need an aggressive and experienced rape defense lawyer in New Jersey to fight for you. Roberts & Teeter, LLC has helped numerous clients avoid the devastating consequences of a rape conviction, and we can help you too.

Rape is legally defined as nonconsensual sexual intercourse, and it can be committed in a variety of ways. For example, it can be committed by using force, threatening to use force, or using coercion. Rape can also be committed through the use of drugs or alcohol, which is known as "drug-facilitated sexual assault."

There are several different degrees of rape in New Jersey, depending on the circumstances of the crime. For example, second-degree rape occurs when the victim is under the age of 13, and first-degree rape occurs when the victim is under the age of 13 and the perpetrator is a family member. If the victim is a minor and the perpetrator is an adult, first-degree rape can be charged as an aggravated sexual assault, which carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years.

Effective Defense Strategies Against Rape Accusations

Because every case is different, every rape defense strategy is different as well. However, there are some general rape defense strategies that can be used in many cases. For example, our rape defense lawyer may be able to challenge the evidence against you and show that it is faulty or that it does not prove that you are guilty. We may be able to show that you were falsely accused or that the alleged victim is not telling the truth.

If you are facing rape charges, do not hesitate to contact Roberts & Teeter, LLC for an initial consultation. Our New Jersey rape defense lawyer will listen to your story and provide you with the personalized representation you need and deserve.

With Our Clients Every Step of the Way

    "I highly highly recommend his services"
    I couldn’t recommend Michael and his team enough! I reached out to the office and left a voicemail, within 24hrs Michael and his team scheduled a call with me. Michael took the time to learn about my case but also me as a client. He has a great background, is extremely knowledgeable, and personable. As a result of his thorough work, I got a positive result on my case, I highly highly recommend his services.

    "I cannot recommend them highly enough."

    I am beyond grateful to Roberts and Teeter LLC for what they achieved on my behalf. My DUI from 15 years ago—stemming from a breath test that was later found unreliable due to the mis-calibration scandal known as State v. Cassidy—was reduced to a reckless driving charge. This case uncovered that the Alcotest device used in many DUI convictions was improperly calibrated, undermining the scientific reliability of those results .

    For years, I carried the weight—and the embarrassment—of having to disclose a DUI on job applications. Thanks to the law firm’s exceptional skill and efficiency, that burden has been lifted in just two court appearances. Roberts and Teeter LLC restored my peace of mind and reputation, opening the door to a brighter future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    "Thank you!"
    Any gun enthusiast in NJ would likely know that we have some of the strictest gun laws in the Country. Due to some indiscretion and unfortunate events in my younger days, my 2nd Amendment rights were jeopardized. I hired other attorneys that were difficult to communicate with, all talk no action, and unsuccessful in getting my rights restored. A friend recommended Roberts & Teeter and I couldn't be happier with their representation and results. Both Michael Roberts and Matthew Teeter worked on my case. They are extremely knowledgeable about the law and were always able to explain complex matters to me in a way that I could understand. They were always very professional, ethical, caring, and readily available to quickly respond to my questions and concerns. Most importantly, they were successful in helping me obtain my FPID card and purchase permit when I had almost given up hope.
    Thank you!

    "Thanks again!!"
    Matt Teeter and his firm did an excellent job handeling my DUI Case. Mr Teeter was able to get my DUI dismmissed and lowered to a much lower offense. I will be recommending Mr. Teeter and his firm to anyone facing any traffic violation. Thanks again!!
    - That “Tony” Guy
    "Resourceful, attentive, and understanding, and work with me every step of the way!"
    I recently hired Mike to appeal my carry permit denial! In the process of waiting for a court date, I had an incident where the state tried to revoke my FID card and forfeit my firearms! Mike represented me on both accounts and not only did he get the forfeiture denied but he got my carry permit granted! Mike went up to bat and came home with a grand slam! He was resourceful, attentive, understanding, and work with me every step of the way! Money well spent! Any gun problems he is your attorney for sure !! Thanks, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
