Cookeville TN Sexual Crimes Defense Attorney

Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer in Knoxville, TN

The explanation of sexual assault varies between jurisdictions, but in general, sexual assault refers to unwilling sexual contact or non-consensual sexual activity. In the preponderance of sexual assault cases, the offender uses force, threats, or violence to assault the victim. Regrettably, sexual assault is commonly committed by persons the victim already knows, such as a parent, sibling, friend, relative, coach, teacher, physician, healthcare provider, co-worker, acquaintance, neighbor, etc. In fact, victims are more likely to be sexually assaulted by people they know, as opposed to a stranger.

 

There are a number of unlawful acts that could warrant sexual assault charges. Frequent types of sexual assault include but not limited to:

 

   * Molestation

   * Anal, oral, or vaginal penetration

   * Inappropriate or unwanted touching or groping

   * Indecent exposure

   * Voyeurism

   * Incest

   * Sexual harassment

   * Rape and attempted rape

 

If you have been charged with sexual assault, it is very important to hire an skilled sex crimes attorney immediately. Persons accused of sexual assault face an assortment of serious legal penalties, including prison, probation, expensive fines, mandatory counseling, community service, loss of certain rights, restitution, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Certain factors, such as sexual assault against a under age individual, and sexual assault that results in bodily injury, will amplify the harshness of the penalties.  In addition, many people accused of sexual assault are shunned by their community, friends, and family, and face unexpected employment loss, a spoiled reputation, and restricted future opportunities.
