Q

How severe is the punishment for attempted rape?

Legal IntellectualViews7,072

I'm serving in the Marines and got angry at a superior and hit them once with my fist. I didn't injure them badly, but a report has been filed. I looked it up and found that hitting a superior isn't general assault but rather the Military Criminal Act applies. Is this kind of Marine assault case significantly different from general assault in punishment level? I'd like to know how much punishment I could actually receive.

Hello. I will answer about the severity of punishment for attempted rape.


Rape is the act of having sexual intercourse against the other party's will through violence or intimidation, and attempted rape refers to a case where this crime was attempted but not completed.


Attempted rape may also be punished with imprisonment for not less than 3 years, the same as a completed offense, and the sentence is not reduced merely because it is an attempt.

This is because attempted rape is considered a serious crime since it has already entered the execution stage.

In sex crimes, the victim's expressed intention not to seek punishment is one of the most important factors considered in sentencing.

In particular, if it is a first-time offense or there is sincere remorse and willingness to make amends, the victim's opinion for leniency can have a significant impact on whether actual imprisonment is imposed.


Also, if the suspect is a first-time offender with no prior convictions and shows sincere remorse to investigative agencies or in court, expressing apology to the victim, the sentence may be reduced.


If there are stable social relationships such as family and work, and the risk of recidivism is judged to be low, the court may take this into account in sentencing.

If the offense was not premeditated and a state of diminished mental capacity due to alcohol is recognized, there may be some room for sentence reduction.

However, sex crimes are crimes that have recently tended toward strict punishment, and strategic assistance from a sex crimes specialized attorney is very important to lower the sentence.

Please defend against punishment through professional response such as arranging amicable settlement with the victim, preparing letters of remorse and plea letters, and organizing the facts.
