Fighting Against Federal and State Aggravated Sexual Assault Charges
State and federal laws define aggravated sexual assault as any sexual assault or attempted sexual assault that involves the use of drugs or other substances, or through the use of threats of bodily injury, kidnapping or death. Aggravated sexual assault can also include charges of sexual assault upon a child 11 years of age or younger.
These charges bring with them the possibility of decades in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry. Such drastic consequences require an attorney who is willing to fight hard for you. It also requires an attorney who firmly believes in your innocence.
