Los Angeles County Rape Charges and Sex Crimes Defense

When Rape charges are filed in Los Angeles under Penal Code section 261, the Los Angeles District Attorney is alleging that the Defendant charged engaged in Sexual Intercourse with a person, regardless of the sex of either person and involved some of the following circumstances:

The person charged by the Los Angeles District Attorneys’ office allegedly raped
another person that did not have the ability to give consent to sex or sometimes referred to as “consensual sex.” This is usually because the person who alleged to have been raped because of a disability. But the person facing the charges in Los Angeles County must have known that the alleged victim had the disability. The Los Angeles Prosecutor must also prove that the alleged victim was unable to give consent.

The Los Angeles Prosecutors believe that a conviction can be obtained by proving that the alleged victim was raped by force or threats on the part of the defendant.

The Los Angeles Prosecutorial officials allege that a victim was raped while they were asleep or unconscious.

The sex crime was committed by fraud or the victim was unaware that the sex crime was occurring.

The sex crime was committed by a healthcare professional by being led to believe that the sex crime was actually part of a medical procedure when it was not.

Los Angeles Rape Allegations pursuant to Penal Code 264.1

This statute is sometimes used to allege that a person was raped by one person while the defendant was an accomplice and sometimes used in alleged gang rape cases.

Los Angeles Statutory Rape Allegations pursuant to Penal Code 261.5

Los Angeles statutory rape charges are filed in situations where there are allegations that there was sex or sexual intercourse, whether or not there was any force or threats, with a person who is not the spouse of the person facing Los Angeles statutory rape charges and the alleged victim is a minor, which means the person is under 18 years of age.

The charges may be a misdemeanor if the person facing the Los Angeles statutory rape charges is within three years of age of the alleged victim.

Any time Los Angeles law enforcement or the Los Angeles District Attorneys’ office files charges alleging child molestation, the defendant is in the fight of his life and must do all he can with any and all resources that he has.

A good defense is not cheap and no expense can be spared and the most skilled attorney must be retained. 

The is no attorney in California who is a Forensic Scientist, Nationally Board Certified and with as much of a relentless trial record as Okorie Okorocha.
Los Angeles Child Molestation Charges are filed under Penal Code 647.1 which makes annoying or molesting a child in Los Angeles County a misdemeanor.  The section also says that a person is who has an abnormal or unnatural sexual interest in children under  18 or is Every person who, motivated by an unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in in children has sexual contact with an adult the person believes to be a child under 18 and the sexual contact would be illegal if the person was under 18 years of age, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Anyone charged with these crimes, that has already been convicted of a sex crime or child molestation in the past is facing many years in prison if convicted.

Los Angeles Child Molestation Charges or lewd or lascivious act charges

Los Angeles child molestation charges under Penal Code 288, generally referred to as the “lewd and lascivious acts upon a child”, are filed alleging that sexual acts were committed with a child under 14 years of age by touching with the purpose of sexual gratification.  The crime is a felony that carries up to 8 years in state prison.

If the above crime is alleged to have been committed by the use of force or threats to the child under the age of 14 can also be guilty of an additional 8 year felony. 

Los Angeles District Attorneys can also file another 8 year felony charge if the child under the age of 14 is alleged to have been victimized by a person who is the child’s caretaker or the act is committed against someone who is dependent on the care of others.

If the charges filed by the Los Angeles County prosecutors include an allegation that the person who committed the alleged crime was over 10 years older than the child, will face additional charges.
