Utah Sex Crimes Attorney
Forcible sexual abuse is a second-degree felony charge that involves an adult accuser. The offense does not necessarily involve rape. Any intended, unwanted contact of a sexual nature can result in the accuser placing charges. In many cases of forcible sexual abuse, a misunderstanding leads to unintended contact that often results in false accusations of a sexual offense. Because it is charged as a felony, a conviction can result in placement on the Utah sex offender registry. It is necessary to fight aggressively to protect your record from a conviction.
I am Utah criminal defense lawyer Susanne Gustin. My law firm has earned recognition in Salt Lake City and courts throughout the state for providing aggressive, compassionate defense of people charged with forcible sexual abuse and other sex crimes. When I prepare a case, I look at the facts beneath the surface. What motivation might the accuser have for preferring charges? What did the accuser do that possibly instigated or initiated the contact? What was the nature of the relationship between you and the accuser? Under every rock there is usually a piece of evidence that works in favor of the defense. I don't stop until I help you get the best outcome possible for your charges.
