- Were Sexual Assault Allegations Made Against You?
- Have you been kicked out of college or fired from your job due to sexual allegations?
- Are you being sued civilly by someone claiming to be a victim?
- Has someone defamed your name by alleging you sexually assaulted or raped them?
Not only can sex crime allegations have life changing effects, allegations alone can change your world. Even if sex crime, rape, or sexual assault changes are not filed against you; you could still face a civil lawsuit initiated by the alleged victim. The burden of proof in these civil cases is lower than that required to prove guilt in a criminal case. Even though you may not face prison or jail time, you could face significant financial judgments. Allegations alone can cause you to lose your licensing in certain career fields, be expelled from school, or prevent you from obtaining employment.
Civil sex cases can include such claims as the crimes themselves, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, loss of consortium, and assault. Civil sexual assault cases can drag on for months and require a significant amount of time, sometimes even more than if a criminal charge was filed. The civil discovery process is burdensome and costly. The last thing you want to do is be required to pay the so called "victim” for allegations you deny or can prove aren’t true.
The victim can also pursue civil protective orders regardless of whether or not criminal charges are filed. Civil protective orders (CPOs, ECOs) can cause you stay away from certain locations or cause you to leave wherever you are at if the victim enters, even if you were there first. If it is alleged you violated the protective order, you could face contempt of court or criminal charges. Having a CPO against you could also mean surrendering any guns or rifles you may have, preventing you from hunting, target shooting, protecting your home, or just exercising your Second Amendment Rights.
