Athens Sexual Battery Lawyer
What is the Definition of Sexual Battery?
Sexual battery is defined as the act of making physical contact with the buttocks, genitals or breasts of another person without consent. As with any sex charge, being accused of sexual battery can have a lasting impact on your reputation, so fighting your case with a seasoned Athens sexual battery attorney is highly recommended.
Groping or touching the sexual organs of another person in a nonconsensual manner-whether he or she is clothed or not-can result in a sexual battery charge. In Georgia, sexual battery is generally considered to be a misdemeanor; however, committing sexual battery against an individual under the age of 16 raises the crime to felony status. The penalty for felony sexual battery can include one to five years in prison as well as fines and probation.

Even if you are only charged with a misdemeanor offense, being convicted of sexual battery will result in a permanent criminal record that can be seen by third parties, including nosy neighbors, schools, and even potential employers. Unfortunately, barring a gubernatorial pardon, getting this conviction expunged is impossible in Georgia.
As with any criminal offense, fighting your charge may be possible. An Athens criminal defense lawyer can review the evidence in your case to determine if it is accurate and obtained legally. He or she can also launch an investigation to uncover potential defenses against your charges.
Since the beginning of his legal career, attorney Lee Webb has been committed to protecting the rights of individuals accused of serious crimes. He can use his experience and training to your advantage at this critical time.
