Sexual Assault Laws

Under Georgia law, sexual assault is considered to be any sexual contact by a person who has authority (either supervisory or disciplinary) over another individual. For example, a psychologist or hospital employee who engages in sexual relations with a patient could be charged with sexual assault. In these types of cases, it doesn't matter how old the victim is or if he or she gave consent-the state need only prove that the defendant had control over the other person.

You could be charged with sexual assault if you work as a:

  • Doctor
  • Teacher
  • Manager
  • Landlord
  • Therapist

The sentence for a sexual assault conviction may include one to 25 years in prison and fines up to $100,000. If the victim is under the age of 16, the prison sentence is increased to 25-50 years.

In addition to these penalties, you may be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This can make applying for jobs or even finding a place to live much more difficult.
