Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

rape

My girlfriend recently told me that she was raped by a male friend/acquaintance in her own apartment. She said it happened a few months ago, and the guy is now in the Navy. Is there anything that cane be done to this guy?

Re: rape

Yes, you can report the crime to the police. It makes it a much harder case to prove because of the delayed reporting, for a number of reasons, including that the bulk of the evidence has been lost. However, that is not a reason not to report him.

Good luck.
