That is an unfortunate scenario, and I will envision it's really frightening for the household. The very best advice I will provide would be to look for a great protection attorney, one that includes a report of coping with sex crimes inside your immediate region, to ensure that he/she is in excellent position using the judge and/or prosecutor.<br />
Based on Oklahoma laws:<br />
"A. Rape is definitely an act of intercourse regarding oral or anal penetration achieved having a man or woman who's not the partner of the criminal and who might be of the exact same or even the opposite-sex whilst the criminal under the following conditions:<br />
1. Where the target is under sixteen (16) decades of age;"<br />
...<br />
"A.Rape within the first-degree will contain:<br />
1. rape determined with a person over eighteen (18) years old upon an individual under fourteen (14) decades of age;"<br />
...<br />
"B.In other instances, rape or rape by instrumentation is rape within the minute degree."<br />
Therefore basicallyam knowing this line properly, the supposed victim was 14 at that time, and also the charged was 18 in the time of the event? In that case, it appears like they might get him for second-degree rape. Today, if they may show it or not is as much as the court to determine, but there are lots of individuals who may let you know that in instances of "rape" (as well as for all intents and reasons, that is what it's), the offender is just about responsible until proven harmless, as opposed to the different method around.<br />
Remember, before you sign something or keep in touch with anybody, OBTAIN A LAWYER! Sentencing for Second-Degree Rape is 1-15 years in Oklahoma, therefore it is no little deal.
