Is it Consensual Sex or Rape?

It is common to hear news reports regarding rape where the male argues that it is consensual sex and the female says that it is rape. In most cases, they have been in a relationship for several months or years and had consensual sex in the past.

When individuals begin a consensual sexual encounter and one of them says to stop, then anyone involved should immediately stop.  It becomes rape when the activity does not stop as requested. Even if the persons are in a relationship, forcing anyone into sex is rape.

Have you been charged with rape, even when you thought the sex was consensual? Do you have doubts regarding this issue? Then contact an experienced sex crimes defense attorney.
