Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

My fiance and I broke up for a few months last year. During that time he dated a girl that claimed she was 18. We would all hang out at times at my fiances roommates apartment that is on the same street as my parents. While they were dating the girl and I became very close, we had multiple conversations via myspace IM and through text messages. I was 8mths. pregnant at that time, when it came time for me to have the baby my fiance and I got back together. Within that time he and I find out that the girl is actually 16 and he and her stop talking. Shortly after that he and I got back together. I let her know we were back together and that we had slept together multiple times while he and her were together and she told me that she knew the entire time that we were sleeping together and that she figured we would share him. After that conversation she quit talking and responding to my msgs. Now a year later my fiance is being charged with a Class A Felony Rape charge. We know he is innocent but the judicial system is messed up. He is guilty until proven innocent. What do we do? He's facing 20 to life right?

There is no Class A felony in Georgia. A rape charge carries a mandatory minimum life in prison, which means 30 years in prison before he is eligible for parole. So, in reality he cannot plead guilty and he cannot he found guilty if he intends to raise his child. What do you do? That's easy. Retain the right attorney. Check out my website on how to find the right attorney: www.lawrencelewispc.com. Just three weeks ago I won a rape case. So, clearly I think I am the right attorney. Best of luck to you.
