What Is Sexual Assault?

Generally, sexual assault is any type of sexual behavior or contact that results without the other party's consent. Typically, sexual assault occurs when an individual is forced, manipulated, or coerced into any unwanted sexual activity. 

Consequences of Sexual Assault

In Connecticut, the punishment for sexual assault will depend on the specific facts of the circumstances. For instance, sexual assault in the first degree is considered a Class B felony  punishable by at least ten years in prison. If the victim is under ten years of age, ten years of the sentence cannot be reduced or suspended by the court. In addition, aggravating factors such as engaging in sexual intercourse while using force when the victim is under a certain age can result in more severe sentences. With so many factors to consider in each case and a wide variety of possible outcomes, it's crucial to have a great legal team on your side.
