Types of Rape Crimes

Although rape is a well-known term throughout California, there are several specific types of rape that a person can commit. The following are types of rape offenses for which our firm has successfully assisted California defendants:

Date Rape

• Date rape occurs when two people who do not live with one another have sexual relations without one of the involved person’s consent. This usually occurs between acquaintances, but can occur between long time “friends”.

Gang Rape

• Gang rape occurs when a group of people have sexual relations with a single person without their consent.

Spousal Rape

• Spousal rape occurs when a married couple has sexual relations without the consent of one of the persons involved.

Statutory Rape

• Statutory rape occurs in California when a person over 18 has sexual relations with a person under 18. California does not recognize persons under 18 as having the ability to consent to sexual relations. So even if both people involved wanted to have sexual relations, the person over 18 can still be charged with statutory rape.

Child Rape

• Child rape occurs when an adult has sexual relations with a young child.

Deceptive Rape

• Deceptive rape occurs when a person coerces another into having sexual relations through deceptive means. For example, if a person went into a married couple’s home, snuck into the wife’s room while the husband wasn’t home, and was somehow able to convince the woman that he was her husband and have sex with her, this could be deemed deceptive rape.

Corrective Rape

• Corrective rape is a term used to describe instances of rape where the accused has sex with a non-heterosexual in an attempt to “correct” their sexual preference. Usually, the attacker believes that non-heterosexuals have a problem that makes them believe that they are not a heterosexual and that they can make them “straight” by having sexual relations with them.
