Prosecutors and police take child abuse allegations extremely seriously in Rochester, so when an adult over the age of 18 is accused of assaulting a child under the age of 11, and has been convicted of a previous assault against a child within the last three years, they will be charged with Aggravated Assault Upon a Person Less than Eleven Years Old (NY PL 120.12).
Charges of assaulting children can wreck your career and personal relationships, even if you aren’t convicted.
If you are convicted, the penalties you’ll face can be up to four years in prison, as well as likely probation, fines, and restitution.
You’ll also live with a felony conviction for the rest of your life, which will have a strongly negative impact on your ability to secure employment, housing, and more.
