Charges

[Anjojo28]

Can a person who is charged for third degree raped have the charges dropped if rape never occurred? If they are also charged for endangering the welfare of a child, what can prove that endangering the child did not occur in this case? Will the person be registered on the sex offenders list if both charges are dropped?

[Duncer]

Anyone can have any charges dropped if the offence never occured, but it is all evidentially based. I doubt charges would arise without evidence?

The sex offenders register, not list, is a higly contentious piece of legislation insofar as people who drunkenly urinate in the street have been added to it and, in my humble opinion, this in no way correlates to people who abuse children. It was a hurriedly rushed knee-jerk reaction to one of the worst crimes possible.

You must be in the US .There's no offence called 'third degree rape' ( or 'third degree' anything) in the UK. We can't really help.Sorry.
