First Degree Sexual Assault in RI Case Result

Sexual Assault Criminal Defense Results by John MacDonald

October 2012: 

Client charged with FIRST DEGREE SEXUAL ASSAULT by Warwick Police.

Complainant told police she never consented to sexual intercourse with client after a house party because she was passed out.

The attorney general’s office pursued an indictment based upon the complainant being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated and therefore could not consent.

After a 6-day jury trial and three days of deliberation, the jury voted NOT GUILTY.
