Philadelphia Lawyer Defending Those Charged With Statutory Rape

The term statutory rape means having sexual relations with an underage person, as defined in the state statutes, or law. Force is not necessary and the acts may be consensual. But they are nonetheless illegal.

It may seem unfair to you that you are being charged. You may feel embarrassed to be charged and have the matter made public. If you are confused and concerned, Philadelphia sex crime defense attorney Randolph L. Goldman is here to ease your concerns.

Experience Counts in Sexual Assault Cases

When you face the power of the Commonwealth and its police and prosecutors, you need someone with the experience and skills to defend you from potential conviction and jail. Mr. Goldman has decades of experience handling criminal charges in Pennsylvania. You have rights under the law, and should not be taken advantage of. Mr. Goldman will ensure that your rights are respected and you are treated as innocent unless proven guilty.

The underage "victim" may face pressure from all sides to make certain statements against you. Attorney Goldman cross-examines witnesses effectively, bringing inconsistencies to light for the jury.

Depending on the strength of the sex crime case against you, negotiating with the prosecutor may allow us to reduce the charge or potential penalties against you. A case can even be dropped if the prosecutor has serious doubt that you could be convicted.
