Sexual Assault, commonly referred to as “rape,” is perhaps the most stressful allegation with which to be faced, particularly if the allegation involves a child. Most often the State will proceed to trial with uncorroborated statement of the alleged victim and the trial boils down to a “he said/she said” case. Nevertheless, convictions are common, especially when the alleged victim is a child. Individuals with spotless records and substantial life achievements may find themselves spending twenty years or more in prison. If a defendant is convicted of one of these kinds of crimes and given a sentence of probation, the defendant will be a registered sex offender for life and be required to successfully complete a challenging sex offender treatment program. If the defendant does not admit he committed the crime, he will be deemed to have unsuccessfully completed the program, his probation will be revoked, and he will then be confronted with a lengthy prison sentence.
