1st degree rape

New York

how much time can a person get for first time offense of rape in the first degree with no criminal record?

In the state of New York, rape in the first degree is a Class B felony. The minimum sentence could be one year and up to a maximum of 25 years (if it was a violent crime.) Many factors go into determining the sentence in a felony conviction. In most circumstances, sentencing is left up to the judge to determine within statutory guidelines.

If a fine is imposed, it can be up to $5000.00 or double if the defendant gained monetarily from the commission of the crime. The fine increases substantially if sale of a controlled substance is involved.

For details on the laws Please visit New York State Legislature [1] and look up the following laws.
