Criminal Defense Team Secures Not Guilty Verdict in Harrisburg Rape Case

In a significant victory for the criminal defense team at Kitay Law Offices, a Delaware man was found not guilty of rape after being charged with multiple serious offenses, including rape by forcible compulsion, sexual assault, and unlawful restraint. The defense team, led by Andres Jalon, Esquire, successfully argued the case, resulting in the jury’s decision to acquit the accused.

The case stemmed from an August 6, 2022 incident in which our client was accused of sexual misconduct following a date arranged on Facebook. While the accuser alleged that the encounter became non-consensual, our client maintained that the sexual contact was consensual throughout.

Through the dedicated efforts of Andres Jalon, Esquire, and his team, the defense presented compelling evidence, including text message exchanges and witness testimony, which cast doubt on the accuser’s claims. Surveillance footage and other critical pieces of evidence helped solidify the defense’s case, leading the jury to deliver a not guilty verdict on all charges.

At Kitay Law Offices, we believe in the right to a fair trial and the importance of a strong defense. Our criminal defense team, led by experienced attorneys like Andres Jalon, Esquire, fights to protect the rights of the accused and ensure justice is served.
