Riverside Sexual Abuse Defense Lawyer

Sexual Abuse & Domestic Violence

In the realm of domestic violence, sexual  abuse may include various forced or unwanted sexual acts with a spouse, ex-spouse, child, person the defendant is in a romantic relationship, or person the defendant lives with. This may include child molestation or various forms of child sexual abuse as well as spousal rape. Due to the fact that sexual abuse is a sex crime, the repercussions are likely to be severe and long-lasting. A defendant may face mandatory sex offender registration for life, as well as imprisonment and heavy fines.

Talking to a Riverside sexual abuse defense lawyer is important if you have been accused of this serious criminal offense. As a form of domestic violence, sexual abuse may include improper touching, forced sexual intercourse or contact, and continual abuse that is of a sexual nature.

Facing sexual abuse allegations? Contact a Riverside defense attorney

Taking immediate action and talking to an attorney about your criminal charges or the accusations you are facing is of the utmost importance. You may be at risk of facing serious penalties and of suffering lasting damage to your reputation and career. With a conviction of this kind, you may be required to surrender professional licenses or may lose your right to own a firearm. You may even receive a "strike" on your criminal record in some cases.

With the proper defense counsel, however, you have the opportunity to challenge your sexual abuse charges and work toward a positive outcome. False accusations of sexual abuse not only harm the person accused but may lessen the impact of true claims of violence or abuse. A lawyer at our Riverside law offices can work to challenge evidence, question witness testimony and in all actively utilize the legal system in your favor.
