Date rape cases can include date rape drugs, like “roofies” (Rohypnol) or GHB. In these cases, it is critical to determine who actually administered the drugs. These drugs lead to drowsiness, confusion, and a state of grogginess, which makes it extremely difficult to resist any sexual advances. In such cases, both sex crime and drug crime charges are possible.
If drugs are not involved, other issues become important. It must be considered what level of intoxication makes sex not consensual, whether it be caused by alcohol, street drugs, or other factors. In addition, the force used by the alleged perpetrator must be determined, and it is critical to establish how and when the alleged victim opposed the sexual advances of the perpetrator. In addition, the reliability of testimony that is reported well after an alleged act took place should be considered.
Our lawyers know how to find the answers to all of these questions and ensure you aren’t looked down upon just because you are on the defense in a he-said/she-said battle. Contact our Michigan attorneys now to fight Ann Arbor sex crime charges.
