Sexual Assault in
Florida
Like most states,
Florida Law has become progressively more stringent in
its approach to any crime labeled a sexual crime. While
a rape conviction has consistently resulted in
significant jail time for the last 30 years, sexual
assaults of all types and severity are now leading to
significant prison time. Sexual assault charges carry a
stigma, while sexual assault convictions can make people
social outcasts long after jail sentences are completed.
If you’ve been charged with a sexual assault of any
kind, you need to contact a top Tampa criminal defense
lawyer immediately. Our Attorneys at The Law Firm of
Kevin A. Moore have been handling these types of cases
for years and understand the complexities involved.
Please review below some of the top reasons you should
consult with a criminal defense lawyer on your sexual
assault charge:
1. Florida Law is complicated. There are actually cases
where you are guilty of assault even if you never
touched the offended party.
2. If a Prosecutor files charges they mean business, and
that is especially the case with sexual assault and
murder cases.
3. Many sexual assault cases come down to a he said she
said situation. You need to remain silent until you have
an experienced criminal defense attorney who can advise
you of your rights and help build your defense case.
4. Local prosecutors have a great deal of experience in
plea bargaining, threatening, and pressuring people to
make deals. Only a leading criminal defense lawyer can
assess your overall situation and advise you on your
options.
These are only the four of many reasons why you should
hire a criminal defense lawyer once you have been
charged with any type of sexual assault in Florida, or
any other state. |
