Penalties of Sexual Assault in California:

In California, sexual assault is known as “sexual battery” and is defined by law as any non-consensual touching of the victim for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse. If convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery, the penalties can be severe, including:

  • up to six months in jail,
  • a fine of up to $2,000,
  • mandatory counseling,
  • probation,
  • and community service.

However, there are certain factors that can make the crime even more serious, such as:

  • restraining the victim,
  • claiming the touching is for a professional purpose like a medical exam,
  • or assaulting someone who is disabled or mentally incapacitated.

If any of these aggravating factors are present, a misdemeanor offense can be upgraded to a felony, which could result in up to four years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Potential Defenses to Sex Crime Allegations

If you’re facing a sex offense accusation, it can feel like the odds are against you. However, there are several defenses available that can help weaken the prosecution’s case. These defenses could potentially result in a more favorable plea bargain, an acquittal, or even the dismissal of the case altogether.

  • One possible defense is to challenge the credibility of the accuser or any of the prosecution’s witnesses. This may involve pointing out inconsistencies in their statements or questioning their motives for making the accusation.
  • Another defense could be to argue that the alleged conduct does not actually constitute a sex offense under the law. This could involve showing that the conduct in question was consensual, for example.
  • A third defense may be to allege that the prosecution violated the defendant’s constitutional rights in some way. If successful, this could result in the exclusion of key evidence from the trial.
  • Finally, it may be possible to introduce evidence that shows that the defendant could not have engaged in the alleged conduct. This could involve presenting an alibi or demonstrating that the defendant did not have the opportunity to commit the offense in question.

In some cases, the evidence against a defendant accused of a sex offense can be very strong. The victim’s testimony may be supported by physical evidence, surveillance footage, or the testimony of other witnesses. In such situations, having a skilled attorney represent you can be invaluable in mitigating the potential consequences of a sexual assault or rape conviction.

For instance, a conviction for rape or attempted rape automatically triggers lifetime sex offender registration under California Penal Code. Judges have no discretion to waive or reduce sex offender registration requirements in such cases. Therefore, some defendants charged with rape may find it advantageous to accept a plea bargain for a lesser offense with discretionary or no sex offender registration requirements.

However, deciding whether to accept or reject a plea bargain offer can be complex and depends on the specific circumstances of your case. It’s essential to discuss your options with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights.

Contact Sex Crimes Attorneys Defending Allegations of Sexual Assault

An experienced lawyer can assist defendants in carefully evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of accepting a plea bargain, enabling them to make an informed decision about their case. When it comes to sex crime convictions, there are numerous “collateral consequences” to consider, and it’s essential to take them all into account before agreeing to a plea bargain. Some of these consequences can include:

  • Facing difficulties in finding an apartment to rent due to a criminal record.
  • Encountering challenges when seeking employment due to a conviction on your record.
  • Suffering damage to your reputation within your community, potentially resulting in social isolation or stigmatization.
  • Being disqualified from certain types of employment, especially if they require a security clearance or involve working with vulnerable populations.

It’s important to involve an attorney as early as possible in your case to ensure protection from any illegal actions by law enforcement officers, investigators, and prosecutors. A skilled attorney can provide effective advice on how to mitigate the direct and indirect consequences of being convicted of a sexual offense. So, the sooner you get an experienced attorney involved, the better off you’ll be.

    I had the pleasure of working with the Cyrus at Tabibnia Law on my case and I could not have been more pleased with the results. From the start, he gave my case the time and attention it deserved and showed a deep understanding and knowledge of the law. He provided clear guidance through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and provide legal advice. He really went the extra mile to make sure I got the best possible outcome and was extremely understanding and patient, always taking the time to explain the details and nuances of the law to me. I am very grateful for his expertise and the care they took in my case and it was definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

    I am here, writing on the behalf of Mr. Cyrus Tabibnia. From the very first moment we formally introduced ourselves to one another, I felt nothing but sincerity and authenticity from this man. At that very moment I knew, that this was the person ideal to represent me and to do diligence. In which in fact he did do so. He was able to significantly get my DUI and Car Theft charges reduced from felonies to misdemeanors and with one case, completely dismissed. I was not only impressed and satisfied completely, but I was not suprised one bit with the outcome. I highly suggest this gentlemen if you are in deed seeking counsel from someone who legitimately cares, and who will go the extra mile and above and beyond for you.

    I was referred to Cyrus Tabibnia through a friend of mine that Cyrus had assisted in the past. The minute that I sat down with the attorney Cyrus Tabibnia for a consultation. I knew that he was the right attorney for my case. I noticed that he was very thorough and technical from the very beginning of our interaction. I was facing deportation for an assault case in which I was clearly defending myself. The ending result was a dismissal and removal of a restraining order after proving that it was a clear case of self defense. Now, thanks to Cyrus I can clearly go back to work and my family. Without worrying about this incident staying on my record. I strongly recommend Cyrus Tabibnia to anyone that is facing legal issues.

    I’m writing this review with tears in my eyes. I can’t find words to describe my gratitude to Lawyer Cyrus. He became the Cyrus that conquered the city of Babylon who built Jehovah’s house in Jerusalem during biblical times. He gave hope and a new life beginning to the Jews. This is exactly what Lawyer Cyrus meant to my family. He was always wearing his armor ready to defend my husband. This times were very difficult because it happened during the pandemic. I just want to say that he always made me feel like I had a warrior who knew exactly what to say to make my stress, worries and pain go away. And, most importantly he knew what he was doing. After, a battle of almost two years, he did it!!!! He won!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

    My name is Salvador. I was charged with a DUI case in 2021. A close friend of mine recommended that I hire Cyrus Tabibnia. My friend had previously hired Mr. Tabibnia for a criminal case and was very satisfied with his work. I consider myself very blessed and grateful to have met and worked with Mr. Tabibnia. He was a very effective lawyer with great customer service and he obtained excellent results for me on my DUI case and on my DMV license issue. I was very concerned about this case for many reasons, but Mr. Tabibnia explained everything, put me at ease and got me a wonderful outcome! I highly recommend Mr. Tabibnia if you need a great lawyer!"
