Skillful, Aggressive Defense For Sex Crimes Involving Coercion And Force
Rape is defined as nonconsensual sexual conduct with another, while sexual battery may involve coercion or manipulation. Understanding the nuances of these charges is crucial.
In Lebanon, Ohio, sexual battery and rape charges can vary significantly, each carrying its own weight and implications in criminal cases. Fines, jail or prison time, a criminal record, and required sex offender registration are likely outcomes for many people convicted of such crimes. In addition, consequences to one’s personal and professional life can be severe.
We are defense lawyers who are well-versed in the complexities of each type of sex offense and how to defend the accused effectively.
Prosecution And Penalties For Sexual Battery And Rape Cases In Lebanon
A rape conviction with elements of force may result in life imprisonment. So-called date rape and gang rapes in fraternities and military contexts are examples of rapes that can bring harsh penalties with ramifications for a lifetime.
The penalties for sexual battery and rape convictions in Lebanon, Ohio, are severe and can impact every aspect of your life. A conviction for sexual battery, typically involving coercion, can result in imprisonment of up to five years. Examples include teachers and coaches grooming and abusing students and student-athletes under their leadership.
Although Warren County does not have a special prosecutor division for sex crimes, cases, especially those involving minors as targets, are often assigned to a female prosecutor or a prosecutor from the Juvenile Court. This and other unique aspects of sex crime prosecution in Lebanon and elsewhere underscore the need for a defense that is both strategic and sensitive to the nuances of these charges.
