Defending Sexual Assault Allegations

“Don’t hire your pediatrician to handle your brain surgery.”

Short of homicide, sexual assault charges carry the highest penalties and the greatest community stigma. The most serious sexual assault crimes can cost defendants decades of his or her life – if not the rest of it. Along with high stakes, sexual assault defense is complex. Often the allegations are months or years old. Complainants make a disclosure to a friend or counselor. Police conduct an investigation. Lives turned upside down in a moment’s time.

If you or someone you know has been accused of sexual assault, it is important to have a defense attorney who is experienced and successful in handling these types of cases. Hiring the right attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of these serious and complex matters. At Richards & Associates, we specialize in representing clients facing sexual assault allegations. Our legal team can provide you with the aggressive and effective representation you need to defend yourself.

We understand that a sexual assault conviction comes with additional penalties and stigmatization, such as mandatory sex offender registration and restrictive supervision rules.

“At Richards & Associates, our attorneys are equipped to handle the complexities of sexual assault defense. We understand that a conviction for sexual assault can come with additional penalties, such as mandatory sex offender registration and restrictive supervision rules. Our team can challenge these requirements, drawing on our attorney’s experience in reviewing applications for exemptions from sex offender restrictions.

We also challenge the rules and conditions of supervision, which can be burdensome and difficult to comply with in today’s digital age. We have a track record of successfully negotiating or litigating against unnecessary rules and restrictions imposed by the Department of Corrections. Additionally, our attorneys can recommend preemptive treatment and assessments to convince the court to impose alternative sentences instead of probation or supervision.

Furthermore, our team conducts intense investigations and litigations to challenge the credibility and admissibility of sexual assault evidence. We closely examine witness statements, DNA results, and other evidence to build the strongest defense possible. We can also investigate the prior false allegations, past sexual conduct of the complainant, prior criminal history of the defendant, and other information that may be relevant to the case.
