Date Rape Crimes

A past client (Mr. I) dated a girl who became pregnant. She wanted to get married. He did not. They agreed to terminate the pregnancy but to stay together. Ultimately, he broke off the relationship. She was sad and angry. Late one night, months later, he showed up at her door wanting to resume their physical relationship. After staying the night with her, he left the next morning but did not indicate that he would call. She called the police and told them that she had been raped. The case proceeded to trial and Mr. I testified that everything that happened that night was consensual. After the jury learned about how their previous relationship ended and how the woman continued to have strong feelings for Mr. I, they came to the conclusion that she was not a victim but rather a woman scorned who wanted to even the score. They returned a verdict of “not guilty”.
