If you are accused of a sex crime, you need a lawyer

You cannot afford to proceed without an attorney if law enforcement accuses you of committing a sex crime. Society handles sexual assault, sexual abuse, and other sex crimes harshly. Below are a few of the penalties you face for committing a sex crime:

  • Sexual battery: In Virginia, first-time offenders who commit sexual battery face up to twelve months in jail and/or $2,500 in fines. A third conviction for sexual battery within a ten-year period of time is deemed a class six felony and is punishable by up to five years in prison. If accused of this type of crime, contact a Manassas sexual assault lawyer immediately.
  • Rape: An accusation of rape is extremely serious. If accused of this crime, you may face life imprisonment. The minimum sentence for a rape conviction is no less than five years.
