The Steep Penalties for a Rape Conviction

Individuals convicted of rape in Scranton & Wilkes-Barre typically face both criminal penalties and social consequences. As with other types of sex crimes, rape comes with a social stigma that can adversely affect a person's life for many years. The possible penalties for a rape conviction could include jail, probation, restitution to the victim, community service, and mandatory sex offender registration.

Having to become a registered sex offender is something no person wants to do, as it will make family, friends, and neighbors view you differently. Certain sex offenders may face restrictions regarding where they live and work, and their whereabouts are constantly known by police officers and other in the community.
