Are you wondering what just happened? You are told a complaint has been filed claiming you inappropriately touched someone. Now law enforcement is pressing you for a statement, wanting you to take responsibility for something you didn’t even do. As a Fort Collins sex assault lawyer, I’ve heard this story more than I’d like to say. Sex offenses carry some of the
most serious penalties of all crimes in Colorado. The consequences of a conviction can last longer and be more damaging than a homicide conviction. Beyond the legal ramifications of a conviction, there’s the social stigma of having a sexual assault on your permanent record.
If you or someone you know is under investigation or has recently been charged with a sexual offense, it’s imperative you seek legal counsel as soon as possible to protect your rights. Our firm, Liggett, Johnson & Goodman, PC, is dedicated to helping clients successfully defeat charges and minimize penalties after a criminal conviction. In certain cases, a conviction may be eligible for
expungement, which can help clear your record and restore future opportunities.
