San Diego Sexual Assault Lawyer

Accused of Sexual Assault?

It is extremely dangerous to be accused of sexual assault in our state.  All sex crimes carry severe penalties, and usually require that the convicted be registered on the Sex Offender Registry.  A conviction on a charge of sexual assault can land you in state prison for years.   When children or underage young people are involved the penalties will be even more extreme.  Accusations of assault can come about through a variety of circumstances, and a false accusation is not uncommon.  When a person decides to accuse another of sexual assault, whether through vindictiveness or after a consensual encounter that they later regret, the accused can suffer severe repercussions even before being convicted. There is a tendency to side with the alleged victim in any such case, and overcoming this natural bias is part of the job of your San Diego criminal defense lawyer from our firm.

Defending Sexual Assault Cases in San Diego

The penalties for sexual assault vary based upon the accusation.  Rape is a form of sexual assault that can lead to years spent in state prison upon conviction.  In fact, any form of unwanted sexual contact is now called "sexual assault".  This can include aggravated sexual assault when injury took place.  When a weapon is used, the penalties are increased.   If you or a loved one has been arrested and charged with any form of sexual assault, it is critical that you act quickly in retaining the services of our legal team at the Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLC.  Without a creative and aggressive defense lawyer, you could be convicted even if you are completely innocent.  Innocence is not enough - if you have been arrested and charged, the prosecutor fully believes that they have the evidence in hand to convict.  You need an equally dedicated attorney that is willing to go the distance in defending your case.

Our legal team has extensive courtroom experience.  The talent needed to defend such a criminal accusation cannot be underestimated.  We will immediately get into action for our accused client when charged with any form of sexual assault, including the following:

• Date Rape

We strongly advise you to contact our firm at once if you have been arrested and charged with sexual assault.  Whether your case requires a trial, plea bargain, reduced charges, alternative sentencing or other option, we will carefully evaluate the situation and all the evidence gathered against you.  We will then be able to quickly determine what defense tactics could be employed in your case.
