Defense for Sexual Assault Charges in Los Angeles, CA
The state of California defines sexual battery, also known as sexual assault, as the non-consensual touching of the intimate parts of another for sexual arousal, sexual gratification or sexual abuse. Because of this broad definition, charges can be unwarranted and a person may be wrongfully accused. For example, if a dentist in California accidentally touches a female patient's breasts while he reaches to grab his dental instruments, the patient could charge her dentist with misdemeanor sexual battery.

Information About Sexual Battery Charges
Sexual battery charges can be classified into two types of offenses: misdemeanor or felony. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor, you may be sentenced to six months in county jail, $2,000 in fines, and informal probation for up to five years. Sexual battery is considered to be a felony when the victim was unaware of the nature of the act because he/she was told that the touching was for professional purposes, unlawfully restrained, or institutionalized and either seriously disabled or medically incapacitated.
When a person is charged with sexual battery, he or she must understand the serious penalties involved with this crime. If convicted of a felony sexual battery offense, a person could spend two to four years in state prison, be fined up to $10,000, and be forced to register as a sex offender. When serious penalties such as these are involved, you need the help of a legal professional. Law Offices of David D.
