Criminal Sexual Act in the Third Degree

When you are facing charges of Forcible Touching (NY PL 130.52), you need to be proactive in how you handle the allegations against you.

Forcible Touching is a class A misdemeanor, and if convicted, Rochester prosecutors are likely to push for you to serve the maximum sentence of one year.

In addition, you’ll be fined up to $1,000, and may face other sanctions as the court sees fit.

Forcible Touching alleges that you intentionally touched, squeezed, grabbed, or pinched the intimate parts of another person’s body for the purposes of degrading or abusing them, or for your own sexual gratification.

While this charge may be filed on its own, you may also be facing additional charges of a sexual nature, in which case you need experienced representation right away.
