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.

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

Having never committed a crime, ending up in jail was a humiliating experience for me. His staff kept me informed, Mr. Craig kept me calm, and in the end he was able to negotiate the right deal for me. He has simple flat rates and doesn't bill you for things like copies and phone calls.- JC
