Sex Crimes Attorneys in San Francisco, California
Date rape is a rape crime committed when forced and nonconsensual sex takes place between people who interact socially. The difference between rape and date rape is that the victim and the attacker may know each other, may even be friends, acquaintances, or may have had consensual sex in the past. Regardless, date rape is rape. Many date rape crimes are often referred to by law enforcement and other experts as a “drug facilitated” sexual assault because the crime in many instances involves the drugging of the victim in order for the perpetrator to gain control.
