Phoenix Statutory Rape Defense Attorney
Statutory Rape Defense Lawyer in Phoenix
In Arizona, statutory rape is called “sexual conduct with a minor," and the age of consent for the state is 18 years old. If you are 18 years old or more and have sex with an individual under 18, you are breaking the law and can be charged with this offense. As the law considers that no one can legally “consent” until they are 18 years old, it is a type of sexual assault under the law. If the minor is under 15 years old, the felony punishment is 13 – 27 years in prison.

There is no opportunity for reducing the sentence in most cases. Even If the minor is 15 – 17 years old, it is a Class 6 felony with prison time as punishment. The punishments for any of these charges are harsh. When the minor is 12 years old or younger, the punishment is life in prison. The minimum time served in such cases is 35 years in prison, and even then it may be difficult to be released. In fact, Arizona has some of the most extreme laws regarding statutory rape of any state.

Mr. Craig and his office staff are a team of experienced, caring, and responsive professionals. As an "out of state" client, Mr. Craig was able to obtain a very positive outcome to my case -- without my presence in court. I am truly grateful to Mr. Craig and his staff for their support. I would highly recommend Mr. Craig, without reservation, and feel very fortunate to have had the benefit of his representation. Thank you to Mr. Craig and Staff!- BT

This man has a "Heart of Gold" he was very honest and kind. He did everything he told me he would, the only BAD thing I can say is his investigator Judd Slivka is the worst, did not do his job right and did not call me as promised by Randy. If Randy was to get a "real" investigator he would really do much better. Randy is the best I have ever seen yet! As for phone calls he was there for me 8 out of 10 times, he was at all of our appointments, he is very professional and I would recommend him to anyone! Randy can get anything done that he puts his heart to! He has a nice smile, honest and is very supportive, a rare find in a lawyer! I wish the best to you Randy & hope to see you have a huge law firm in the future, you deserve it!- Former Client

Dear Randall:
I am sure you do not remember me, but you represented me in my case. I was a heroin addict and have not been clean for over 4 years. I don’t think I have ever properly thanked you. You really fought hard for me and thanks to you believing in me, I really have turned my life around. There is not a day that goes by I do not live with regret. However I really am working hard on that thing we call “forgiveness”. Thank you for everything. I truly believe you are the best lawyer around!
