Do Not Allow a Sexual Assault Conviction to Steal Your Future

Do Not Allow a Sexual Assault Conviction to Steal Your Future

No matter how big or small, any criminal charge could affect your future if it is not dealt with appropriately. So the first thing you should do when you find out you are under investigation for a crime is to hire an experienced criminal law attorney. Convictions from crimes such as sexual assault can come with both short- and long-term consequences that you do not want to face.

Short-Term

Without consent, having sexual contact with another person is illegal. Although, sometimes it can be tricky to define whether or not consent was given. If convicted of sexual assault in Wisconsin, a person may face significant fines up to $100,000, lifetime sex offender registration, and even life imprisonment.

Long-Term

As previously stated, one may end up in prison for life or be registered as a lifetime sex offender. Beyond these consequences can come struggles to obtain a job or adequate housing due to a sex offender conviction.

If you receive news that you are being charged with sexual assault, you first need to locate and speak with an experienced sexual assault attorney. The only way to escape these harsh consequences is by avoiding conviction with the help of an experienced and aggressive legal representation. Martinez & Ruby, LLP, is a statewide leader in sex-crimes defense.
