Call the Duvall Law Office now to schedule an appointment to discuss your case at 541-345-4500.

 

At the Duvall Law Office, we represent individuals who are accused of all types of criminal charges throughout the state of Oregon. These charges include Measure 11 offenses, domestic violence and/or domestic or child abuse accusations (Assault, Menacing, Harassment, Coercion, Strangulation), all forms of sex abuse / sexual offenses as well as DUI (aka, Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants, DUII, DWI or more commonly called “drunk driving”). One of the many offenses on which we provide defense is Rape in the Second Degree. This sex crime is not an Oregon Measure 11 offense; however, in Oregon, if one is convicted of a sexual offense, there is the danger that convicted person will become a registered sex offender. The requirement that one register as a sexual offender is an extremely serious matter which can lead to one facing a series of challenges with housing, employment, licensing and other matters which restrict one’s choices of freedoms.

 

 

Rape in the Second Degree is defined by Oregon law as follows:

“ORS 163.365

Rape in the second degree

(1) A person who has sexual intercourse with another person commits the crime of rape in the second degree if the other person is under 14 years of age.

(2) Rape in the second degree is a Class B felony.”

If you are facing Rape in the Second Degree charges, or any criminal offense within the state of Oregon, contact the Duvall Law Office at 541-345-4500 to schedule an appointment.
