Defense Lawyers For Sexual Abuse In The Second Degree (NY PL 130.60) In Rochester

Sexual Abuse In The Second Degree

Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree (NY PL 130.60) in Rochester is the crime of engaging in sexual contact with another person without that person’s consent, and where the lack of consent is for a reason other than the person being younger than 17 years old.

Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree will also be charged if the victim is a child younger than 14.

In cases where the victim is younger than 14, one of the strongest lines of defense is unavailable.

In many sex crimes prosecutions, a defense lawyer can assert that consent was given and the complainant later changed their mind. But when a young child is the other party in a Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree case, there is no circumstance under which the child can legally consent.

This is a very serious charge that can not only lead to a one year jail sentence, but also put you on New York’s sex offender registry for as long as the rest of your life.

If you or a family member are facing sexual abuse in the second degree charges, call the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer today at 585-484-7432 to speak to an experienced Rochester criminal defense attorney for free.
