Turn To Experienced Defense Attorneys Over Charges Of Sexual Assault Of A Child

Allegations of sexual assault of a child are extremely serious, and unfortunately, there are many cases in which a person is wrongfully accused. Criminal charges related to alleged sexual assault of a child can also include allegations of indecency with a child and conduct related to “sexting.”

A “child” under Texas law is a person younger than 17 years of age. A person may be charged with sexual assault of a child regardless of whether the person knows the age of the child at the time of an offense.

About Sexual Assault Of A Child

In most cases, sexual assault is considered a second-degree felony, which is punishable by between two to 20 years in prison, and/or a fine of up to $10,000. In some cases, the offense may be upgraded to a first-degree felony due to aggravating factors. The upgrade due to aggravating factors means the person accused may be facing between five and 99 years or life in prison, and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

There is a lengthy statute of limitations for sexual offenses. In some cases, there may be no statute of limitations at all, which could result in being accused, charged and convicted many years after an offense allegedly occurred.
