The Severity Of Texas Sexual Assault Offenses
Texas takes sex crimes seriously, posing harsh penalties upon conviction.
For instance, the offense of sexual assault can be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the circumstances. Felony sexual assault can lead to imprisonment for 2-20 years and a fine approaching $10,000.
Other offenses involving sexual assault include:
- Rape: A felony punishable by imprisonment for 2-20 years and fines approaching $10,000
- Aggravated rape: First-degree felony punishable by imprisonment for 5-life and fines reaching $10,000
- Statutory rape (involving a minor): Felony offense punishable by 2-20 years imprisonment and thousands in fines
- Indecent assault: Misdemeanor posing the risk of incarceration and/or a $2,000 fine
The repercussions of a conviction for sexual assault, or even date rape, can be life-altering. In addition to incarceration and fines, it can lead to mandatory sex offender registration, potentially impacting employment and housing.
A Defense Is In Your Reach
An experienced sexual assault lawyer can help you explore your legal options and develop a defense strategy. Here are some possible options to consider:
- Falsely accused of rape or sexual assault
- Showing the party consented to sexual conduct
- You genuinely believed the party gave their consent
Additionally, if law enforcement made procedural errors or violated your rights during or after your arrest, it can be used in your defense. For instance, if they obtained evidence through an unlawful search and seizure, attorney Luong can work to have it excluded.
By partnering with The Law Office of Jason Luong, PLLC, you get a legal defender who will stand by you, diligently prioritizing the most favorable outcome possible.
