Rape and Sex Crimes Defense

At Lewin & Lewin, we provide defense to individuals charged with the following crimes:

  • Child rape
    • Forcible child rape
    • Statutory rape - Having sex with a person under the age of 16
  • Rape involving two adults - Forcibly having sex with an unconsenting adult
    • Rape of people with disabilities
    • Rape of nursing home resident
    • Date rape

Considering Cultural Differences

In many places around the world, sexual activity involving an adult and an individual under the age of 16 is considered a normal part of their culture. However, when that same act occurs under United States jurisdiction, it is illegal. When an individual is accused of rape or other illegal sexual act, they deserve solid legal representation that considers their personal and cultural beliefs.

Our Approach

At Lewin & Lewin, we use a variety of resources to build a client's defense. In rape cases, we work closely with an investigator who examines the evidence surrounding the allegations. In a recent case, our investigator interviewed the alleged victim of a rape, during which she admitted that nothing had happened.

Throughout his career, attorney Robert D. Lewin has successfully handled thousands of criminal defense cases, including those involving rape and sexual assault. Contact Lewin & Lewin today to find out how we can help you.
