Re: attempted rape

This is an EXTREMELY serious charge and the possible penalties on such a charge could be VERY lengthy jail sentencing.

It is extremely urgent that you ensure he is as best protected as he can be while facing these charges.

The first question is are you able to afford private counsel, which on a chaarge like this you should absolutely try and secure for your husband. If you are not able to hire private counsel the you will find yourself, and his case, at a disadvaantage. However, you may be able to compensate to some degree by taking an extremely active role in his case, and with communication with his attorney... whomever that may be.

The next question, wgich would have a huge bearing on the case is the age of the alleged victim... is the alleged victim under 17?
