Facing charges for rape? Start building your defense!
It is important to keep in mind that though Hawaii has done away with all "rape" classifications, calling any such type of offense sexual assault, there are still certain distinctions and factors that may increase the penalties you face.
We can represent clients facing the following type of rape charges:
- Statutory rape
- Sexual assault
- Date rape
- Spousal rape
Though the state does not use terms like "statutory" any longer, it is still strictly illegal to engage in sexual acts, consensual or not, with a minor. In Hawaii, that refers to any child under the age of 14. Any individual who is more than five years older than a minor could face sexual assault charges for sexual activity. Sexual assault is any forceful act of sexual relations with any individual who is unwilling, unable to give consent, or too young.
