Statutory Rape Defense Lawyer in Salt Lake City

Utah Sex Crimes Attorney

Greg Smith and Associates, Criminal Law Firm

Statutory rape refers to sexual contact with someone who is under the age of consent as defined by state statute, rather than by the nature of the sexual encounter. Unlawful intercourse with a minor is illegal regardless of whether the encounter was consensual.

The age of the victim is the determining factor in labeling a sexual act statutory rape. In Utah, statutory rape occurs when at least one of the participants in a sex act was under age 14, considered to be the age of consent. If the two parties are within two years of age, sexual intercourse may be considered consensual, depending on circumstances.
