Solano County Sexual Assault Attorney

Vacaville Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Benicia, Fairfield, Dixon, Vallejo & Rio Vista

Sexual assault can come in many forms. Touching an intimate part of another person against their will for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification is known as sexual battery. Rape is another form of sexual assault that is charged when a person engages in sexual intercourse with another against their will by means of force, violence or fear. A person can be charged with statutory rape if they have unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

The penalties for these sexual assault crimes are severe and if you are convicted you will be facing imprisonment and harsh fines. Without competent representation, your chances of being found guilty greatly increase and you may be facing the maximum penalties.
