Your world will be turned upside down after being accused of sexual assault. An innocent gesture or an off-the-cuff remark suddenly has everyone’s attention, including the police. Whether you are on the street, with family and friends, or in the office, you need to be mindful of your behavior. Most people think that sexual assault is only a physically aggressive act, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Other acts that are considered sexual assault include touching someone who doesn’t want to be touched, in a sexual or suggestive way, even if it was just meant to be funny.

In today’s America, these offenses are taken very seriously, and each case is treated with the utmost severity. To make sure you don’t end up serving time for a crime you didn’t commit you should be prepared to defend yourself in a court of law.

Do not assume that because the charges are false, you do not need to deal with them. The police and the state of Nevada both take these charges very seriously.  They have a set of protocols that must be followed. If you are not prepared for them, you could end up paying the price.

Hiring a lawyer is the best thing you can do for your case if you have been accused of sexual assault. An experienced sexual assault lawyer will help you mitigate the risks and pitfalls of dealing with the police and prosecuting attorney. You should never speak to the police without a lawyer present.

You should begin compiling a record of all of your interactions with your accuser. You need to keep track of dates, what was said, and a list of witnesses. Be sure to keep this information in a safe place and only share them with your lawyer. Electronic communications can be very important to your defense.

Make yourself available to your lawyer on their timeframe and at their convenience. Answer all their questions to the best of your knowledge. Make sure you provide your lawyer quickly with whatever they ask for.

Hopefully, you won’t have to go to trial after being accused of sexual assault, but if you do it is going to be expensive. In addition to attorney fees, expert witnesses may be necessary, special psychological tests may be required, and other evidence may need to be collected, but this is all a small price to pay for your freedom.
