How Marital Rape Differs

All states classify spousal or marital rape as a form of sex crime punishable with prison time, high fines, loss of custody rights, and other heavy penalties. Varying factors, such as aggression, intent, or age of alleged victim, will escalate a marital rape crime identically as it would in a rape case between two strangers. The key difference is that states often require clear evidence of a lack of consent between married couples.

A spouse may have expected consent due to a history of unspoken consent with his or her spouse. There are also many cases in which a spouse claims marital rape took place despite never vocalizing their lack of consent or creating any physical resistance. To harshly penalize a spouse for misunderstanding the intent or mood of their spouse is not the purpose of the justice system.

No Case is Too Sensitive or Difficult for Our Team

The thought of having to defend yourself in court from your own spouse can be intimidating and humiliating. It is important to not give in to the claims if you know they are exaggerated or fabricated just so you can avoid telling your story to a judge or jury. You need to stand up for your rights and protect yourself from conviction. You need Boston Sex Crimes Attorney Brad Bailey in your corner.
