Sexual Assault Defense Lawyers
What Is Considered A Sex Crime?
Sexual assault is a felony in Colorado. While there is a categorized difference between sexual assault and sexual contact, all sex crimes have serious consequences.
The umbrella of “sexual assault” covers a variety of crimes, including:
- Unlawful sexual contact
- Penetration or intrusion (rape)
- Unlawful sexual contact of a minor
- Unlawful sexual contact of a minor in a position of trust
- Sexual battery
- Groping or fondling of genitals
In the state of Colorado, defendants convicted of any of these charges can be subject to an indeterminate sentence that could be as severe as life in prison. A felony sex offense also comes with a mandatory sex offender registration.
