If you have been accused, or are under investigation for sexual battery or any form of sexual assault, contact the Law Offices of Jennifer Le immediately to discuss your case and charges with an experienced Orange County sex crime defense lawyer.
Sexual Battery is a sex crime which is defined by California penal code section 243.4(a), which reads in part: “Any person who touches an intimate part of another person while that person is unlawfully restrained by the accused or an accomplice, and if the touching is against the will of the person touched and is for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse, is guilty of sexual battery.”
Sexual battery is a wobbler offense, meaning it may be charged as a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail up to one year and/or a fine of $2,000, or as a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years and/or a fine up to $10,000 as a felony. In addition, a conviction will mandate lifetime registration as a sex offender, pursuant to Penal Code Section 290.
