New York Date Rape Defense Lawyer

Date rape is a crime which involves forced or nonconsensual sexual intercourse between two people who know each other. Technically, this is a form of rape but it has gained its own label in modern language. It is termed "date" rape because the victims may have been dating, engaging in a romantic relationship or actually on a date when the offense occurred. Date rape is also commonly associated with administering drugs to the victim without his or her knowledge.
