Defending Those Accused of Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is a serious charge. The potential consequences can include long periods of incarceration. Convicted sex offenders are also required to register with the Utah Department of Corrections Sexual Offender Notification and Registration (SONAR) program for up to 10 years and, in some cases, for life.
You Have Options
If you have been accused of rape or sexual assault, it is important to discuss your case as soon as possible with a criminal defense lawyer you can trust. Please contact me, Salt lake City criminal defense attorney Steven M. DuBreuil for effective representation in against sexual assault charges.
There are many possible scenarios that can lead to an innocent person being charged with sexual assault. For example:
- A false accusation: The alleged victim may have a motive for causing trouble for the accused. Almost nothing can cause more trouble in a man's life than an accusation of criminal sexual conduct.
- A misidentification: Perhaps a crime occurred, but the victim mistakenly pointed the finger at you rather than the true perpetrator.
- A change of mind: You may have had consensual sexual relations with a person who later decided it was rape, not consensual sex.
I will explore the possible legal options for your defense and work diligently to achieve a positive outcome in your case. I will give you a straightforward assessment of your chances and advise you on whether to accept a plea bargain or go to trial.
