Compassionate Legal Support For Adult Survivors Of Date Rape In Ohio
Last updated on June 23, 2025
You might wonder if what happened to you even counts as rape under Ohio law. If your ability to say “no” was taken away because of alcohol, fear or manipulation, you deserve answers and justice.
I am Konrad Kircher, and I have been a lawyer for over 30 years, representing victims across Ohio, including Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati and beyond. At Kircher Law, LLC, I focus entirely on survivors, guiding them with compassion, legal strength and a deep respect for their healing.
Date Rape Definition Under Ohio Law
Under Ohio law, rape includes sexual conduct obtained by force, threat or when a person is impaired, like from drugs or alcohol. When consent is not truly given, it is rape. That includes “date rape.”
What To Do After A Date Rape Incident
If you are able, here are immediate steps that can support your legal and emotional recovery:
- Seek medical attention, as documentation matters even if physically unhurt.
- Avoid bathing or washing clothes, as this helps preserve critical evidence.
- Consider filing a police report, but only when you are ready.
- Document your memory by writing down what you recall while it is fresh.
Each of these steps is personal, and not every survivor follows the same path. What matters most is that you know I am here to walk that path with you. No pressure, just steady support from a lawyer who truly gets it.
Why Legal Support Matters
It might feel like you can handle things alone. But every step, from reporting to filing, comes with legal challenges. That is where having an attorney who understands trauma and the courtroom becomes critical. I have taken these cases as far as the Ohio Supreme Court and have helped survivors secure over $1 million in justice.
