Schwaner, P.C., in Colorado Springs, at 866-581-0897 or send an e-mail. I provide free initial consultations.
Sexual Assault Charges are Serious
Sexual assault charges are very serious matters. In Colorado, sex crimes are typically felonies. The public tends to be very emotional when it comes to the subject of sexual assault and juries often can't help but be biased in favor of the alleged victim. As a highly experienced lawyer in this area, I am aware of what can happen in any situation dealing with sexual assault charges. I can help you present your case so that they jury can understand your side.
Police Tactics
If you know you are being accused of a sex crime, such as rape, don't speak with anyone about it without talking to an attorney first. One common tactic used by police is to have the alleged victim, or a family member or acquaintance call you while the police are listening and try to get you to confess or give details about the alleged incident. The best thing you can do is to let your attorney do the talking for you.
Potential Consequences
In Colorado, there is a very specialized set of rules and laws that govern sexual assault cases. In the end, these charges carry potential consequences that can affect the rest of your life and may include:
- Prison
- Sexual Offender Intensive Supervision Probation
- Submitting to regular polygraphs
