Carnal Knowledge

Aggressive representation in Hampton Roads for Carnal Knowledge Charges

The age of consent in Virginia is 18, and there is a complicated set of statutes covering sexual acts between adults and those under the age of 18.  Depending upon the age of the minor and the age of the offending party, this crime may be charged as rape, as carnal knowledge, or even misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  It is not a defense in Virginia that a defendant did not know the age of the minor.  Carnal knowledge is a serious offense, and courts routinely deal with these offenses in the harshest of ways.

If you have been charged with carnal knowledge with a minor, or feel that you may be soon, you absolutely must have an experienced and aggressive criminal attorney on your case.  These cases can be won through aggressive represention, but you must act quickly to secure whatever favorable evidence may be available.  Call our office today, we will conduct a free consultation and let you know what we can do to help. We have offices in Hampton and Virginia Beach, and we represent clients facing drug charges in Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake.
