Re: attempted rape

The sentence for rape in the Commonwealth ranges basically from five years to life in a state correctional facility (in the discretion of the judge or jury trying the case). See Va. Code Sec. 18.2-61. (Attempts merit the same punishment as the full commission of the crime itself.)
