Rape Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: I was raped by someone that i know and they claims to be my friend so i know who he is and he knows where i hang out. This happened two weeks ago and im afraid that since i didn''t go get tested with a rape kit and he doesn''t incriminate himself during questioning or admit to rapping me that the case will just be dropped and they he will be out to try and hurt or even kill me for trying to press charges. What should/can I do to get justice served on my behalf without having to run from him and not go out until i move out of the state of Georgia?

Answer: How can the case be dropped when you never reported the incident and no decision has been made to arrest or jail him? Without you reporting the offense to the police, the police, prosecutor, judge and/or courts will never be involved. No one knows what you should do,because you have too many condition precedents on what you want. You want justice, but you don''t want him arrested if he is going to be let out of jail. You want justice, but you don''t want to run before you move out of the state of GA. I cannot that the police will take your case more seriously the more time goes by between the incident and the arrest.

Question: Statute of Limitations when a minor is raped by her physician in Georgia 1986, till now. As an adult, what can she do? He admitted to it, criminal charges were dropped, and she did not receive any private compensation.

Answer: The statute of limitations on criminal rape charge is seven years, but the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the minor child turns 18. So, if she is 26 or older, the matter is closed. I suspect the matter is closed once you write that the criminal charges were dropped. If you are trying to recover money in civil court for a rape that is five or six years old, you have an uphill battle.

Question: What do you do if your not guilty of a sexual assault but you are accused of rape by a victim?

Answer: Since a rape conviction carries a mandatory life in prison (30 years before you are eligible for parole), I would contact an experienced attorney, sit down for a consult and begin preparing a defense. That is what I would do.

Question:  My boyfriend is serving a 20/15 under bill441 and is in year 9. Once the manditory 10 is served can he parole out even without a tinitive parole date?

Answer: If he is serving 15 on an armed robbery, rape, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated assault or some other very serious offense, he will not be paroling out after 10. There is a reason he does not have a tentative parole hearing date. He is not going to be paroled. He is not eligible for parole after 10 years.
