Generally, rape involves non-consensually or unlawfully having sex with another person. Colorado law recognizes that the offense can be committed in various ways, and the statute concerning the crime enumerates the different circumstances and the severity of each. An accusation of rape (or sexual assault) alone can have adverse consequences. For instance, others may see the accused in an unfavorable light and treat them unfairly. As such, personal, professional, and community relationships can be strained. These negative impacts occur even though the accused has not been tried for the crime and is considered innocent. If a conviction results, severe penalties can be imposed, including imprisonment and fines. The conviction will also follow the individual around for the rest of their life, as it will remain on their criminal record, and they'll be required to register as a sex offender.
