Sexual Assault in Douglas County and How It's Charged – Falsely Accused After Consensual Sexual Contact

In Douglas and Jefferson County, Colorado, Sexual Assault, C.R.S. 18-3-402 is charged under many different circumstances. Generally, it's charged if sexual intrusion or penetration is inflicted upon someone who has not given consent or is legally unable to give consent. However, it is frequently charged even when consent is given. For example, let's say a distressed woman in the middle of a divorce met a guy at a bar and had consensual sex with him, but regretted it the next day. To avoid tension between her and her soon to be ex-husband over the new boyfriend's criminal history, she alleged the man she met sexually assaulted her. Police arrested the man and he was charged with felony Sexual Assault as a result. Or, perhaps a freshman in college had consensual sex with her boyfriend. Not wanting her parents to find out she was sexually active, she alleged the sex wasn't consensual. In many scenarios across Colorado, men and women are charged with Sexual Assault when false allegations are made. False sexual assault allegations can drastically change the course of anyone's life. Under any circumstances of sexual assault charges or accusations, it's absolutely vital to have an aggressive sexual assault defense lawyer fighting on your side.
