Los Angeles Sexual Assault Defense Attorney

In our state, there are a number of crimes that could be considered to be sexual assault. Criminal courts rarely show tolerance towards those charged with such crimes, and the penalties levied can be very steep. A person convicted of sexual assault faces probation, possible lifetime registration as a sex offender, and a jail or prison sentence, depending on the severity of the crime.

Some of these crimes include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Rape
• Acquaintance rape (or "date rape")
• Sexual exploitation of a minor
• Sexual enticement of a minor
• Child molestation

Should an aggravating factor be involved, in the form of the use of a weapon, the involvement of a child or similar circumstance, then the penalties can be increased substantially. It is highly advised that you consult with a criminal attorney if you have been charged with any sexual assault crime. They can provide you with the guidance and defense necessary to maximize the potential of a successful outcome to your case.
