San Jose Sexual Assault Lawyer

Sex Crimes Defense Law Firm

The penalties for a sex crime conviction in California are staggering. Besides the potential of spending significant time in prison, most people convicted of a sex crime are required to register as a sex offender for the rest of their lives.

If you have been accused of sexual assault, date rape, sexual battery or another sex crime, you have rights — and I, attorney Edward Ajlouny, can protect them. Contact my law office to find out more and to schedule a free initial consultation.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault, commonly called sexual battery, involves the unwanted intimate touching of another for sexual gratification. The consequences for this crime vary depending on whether the crime is classified as a misdemeanor or felony. However, a felony sexual assault conviction can result in a lengthy prison sentence and mandatory lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Date Rape

If you have been accused of date rape, or using the date rape drug (ruffies), contact a sex crimes defense lawyer as soon as possible. I have significant experience defending clients charged with sex crimes including date rape. There may be many defense options available.

Statutory Rape

The crime of statutory rape involves having sexual relations with an underage minor. The penalties for statutory rape are generally more severe if there is a 10-year or more age difference between the victim and the alleged sex offender. In over 15 years of criminal defense experience, I have been able to reduce charges, and help clients avoid jail time and sex registration.
