Does US lawyer has moral and professional right to practice Law if a criminal rape case is opened against him in another country?

[Michael Koman]

He had correspondence with her and sex with her and now she's accusing him of rape? Is anybody else wondering about that?

Does correspondence give the right for sex?
And even if a girl stays with a man in the same apartment overnight does it guarantee sex?
And finally if a woman resists, cries, asks to stop, etc. should a man continue just because the girl agreed to stay overnight?
You better start with definition of RAPE in any dictionary: forcing another person to have sexual intercourse with the offender against their will. Law in any country, including both USA and Philippines, defines rape about the same.

Law in any country, including both USA and Philippines, defines rape about the same.

Actually, the definition of what constitutes a rape offense does vary some from one country to another. Indeed, just within the U.S. the definition of rape offenses varies a bit from state to state. It is a mistake to assume that the law on much of anything is universally the same. Travelers often make that mistake, assuming that the laws they are familiar with in their country will also be pretty much what the law is in the places they visit. That's how some travelers get into legal trouble.

You know the answer to your questions, Michael.

FreeAdvice is not a discussion forum, by the way. We address questions asked by those who are personally involved in a legal matter and need some information about the laws that affect them.

You can assist your ex-girlfriend by reporting the Massachusetts attorney to the State, if you have more than just rumor and suspicion to back up a complaint.

You weren't there so you don't really know what happened.

That is why the matter is in court. So facts and evidence can be weighed.

Until there is a verdict, the Massachusetts attorney is innocent of the charges.

At least under our laws.

True. The Philippines often jails first and checks out facts later. Sometimes, apparently, MUCH later.
