Potential Defenses For Sexual Assault Cases
False allegations
Unfortunately, many people are falsely accused of sexual assault. A victim’s statements to law enforcement are typically enough to cause a prosecutor to pursue charges against you. An attorney can scrutinize the credibility of the witnesses against you and attempt to discredit any false testimony.
Consent
The accuser may have actually consented to the sexual intercourse, which makes you not guilty in the eyes of the law. When a lawyer addresses consent as a defense against your charges, the court will examine the circumstances associated with the sexual intercourse and determine whether your belief of consent was reasonable.
Insufficient evidence
Remember, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence against you is sufficient enough to convict you of sexual assault. For instance, if your accuser doesn’t have any medical evidence to support their claim because he or she failed to obtain medical attention after the incident, then you may have a strong case that there isn’t enough evidence for a conviction.
Mistaken identity
There are many instances where the wrong person is arrested and charged with sexual assault. If your accuser’s ability to identify his or her assailant was impaired for one reason or another at the time the crime was committed, it can result in false charges. On the other hand, you may somewhat resemble the actual offender in a case and the police arrest you based on only description.
