New York Rape Defense Lawyer
Some people believe that a rape can only occur outside of a relationship, such as when someone is sexually assaulted on the street or by a stranger at a party. They're wrong. Rape involves any forced oral, anal or vaginal penetration including by a spouse (marital rape), a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a relative, or a friend.
