Philadelphia Attorney Defending Those Charged With Acquaintance Rape

Date rape is also known as acquaintance rape. It may occur between people actually on a date, or more commonly, drugs or alcohol are used to take advantage of a new acquaintance in a club, bar or frat party.

Date rape implies sexual activity that is not consensual. It is a serious charge with potentially very serious penalties, even if the victim wishes to withdraw a complaint.

False charges are brought all the time, for whatever reason. Often the sex is actually consensual, but one party regrets it or fails to accurately remember the circumstances due to voluntary alcohol or drug use.
