Statutory rape in New York means one of the following:

  • Third-degree rape: when someone age 21 or older has sexual intercourse with someone under age 17
  • Second-degree rape: when someone age 18 or older engages in sexual intercourse with someone under age 15 (the offender being less than four years older than the victim)
  • First-degree rape: sexual intercourse by someone of any age with someone younger than age 11, or by someone age 18 or older with someone younger than age 13

Statutory rape simply involves an act of sexual intercourse with someone of a certain age, whether or not physical force was allegedly involved. If you have been charged with statutory rape in New York or elsewhere, your legal situation is grave and urgent.

Accusations of any sex crime such as statutory rape, “date rape ” or indecent exposure are a serious matter in New York or anywhere.
