Are you facing charges of sexual abuse?

Sexual abuse, also known as molestation, is unwanted sexual behavior from one person to another. This is a serious crime in New York City and can result in extensive jail or prison time and other harsh penalties. If you are facing sexual abuse charges, it is essential that you speak with an experienced New York City criminal defense attorney from our firm as soon as possible. There are many possible defenses that may be applicable to your case, and a defense attorney will understand the best method of defending you from these life-altering charges.

Sexual abuse is classified in three degrees in the state of New York. They are as follows:

  • Sexual abuse in the second degree: Sexual abuse of an individual who is incapable of consent (mentally impaired) or who is under 14 years of age. This is a Class A misdemeanor, and can result in up to one year in jail.
  • Sexual abuse in the first degree: Sexual abuse against a person who is less than 11 years old, or who is unable to consent due to physical or mental disabilities. This is a Class D felony, and punishable with 7 years in state prison.
