    Assault and Battery.

    Assault and battery are two different but related personal offense crimes that often occur at the same time and, as a result, are typically prosecuted together. Assault involves the act of threatening to injure someone, whereas battery refers to the actual act of violence. Both assault and battery are taken very seriously in a court of law and carry harsh penalties including jail time. Creating a fear of imminent battery is an assault, and also may give rise to criminal liability.


    Rape and Sexual Crimes.

    Sexual Crime is any illegal sexual behavior, including incest, indecent exposure, rape, molestation, sexual assault, sexual abuse, statutory rape, necrophilia, beastiality, internet sex crimes, sexual harassment, sexual trafficking in child pornography, pimping, pandering, prostitution, lewd and lascivious conduct. Non-consensual intercourse, or rape, is a particularly egregious form of battery and criminal personal offense. Rape and sexual crimes refers to any form of sexual conduct forced on a person against their will through means of violence, menace, duress, fear of injury or other danger, and more. In essence, rape and sexual crimes are a non-consensual sexual activity, which means that if an alleged victim is unconscious and cannot give consent to the sex act, then he/she could claim they were raped. Rape and sexual crime cases may be complex because of a number of mitigating circumstances including false accusations, media attention, and more. If you have been accused of rape or a sexual crime, it is extremely important to seek legal counsel to ensure your rights and interests are fully protected.
