Yes, date rape is a sexual assault crime under New Jersey law, and is prosecuted the same way that other types of rape and other non-consensual sexual contact are.
Without proper legal protection, you run a significant risk of a long prison sentence, which you’ll have to serve 85% of, then a lifetime as a registered sex offender.
Your choices in where you can live, access to good paying jobs, and your reputation in the community will be permanently damaged.
You should consider yourself in significant jeopardy if you have been charged with, or believe you are under investigation for, date rape.
A strong defense attorney will challenge the charges against you, providing a thorough investigation that supports your accounting of events.
You’ll go to court with an advocate who can push back against the allegations against you, call events into question, and make salient arguments that will help the jury see the truth of the situation.
