Aggravated Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree (NY PL 130.67) is a class C felony, and Rochester prosecutors are likely to push for you to get the longest possible sentence, which is 15 years.
People who are alleged to have used force, ignored a lack of consent, or sexually abused a child are subject to special efforts by Rochester police and prosecutors to secure a conviction.
If they get it, or they talk you into pleading guilty without consulting an attorney, you’ll end up with prison time, fines of $15,000, and a requirement after your release to register as a sex offender with the local police department.
Your address, mug shot, and details of your conviction will be easily searchable.
You’ll have to “check the box” on job and housing applications and explain that you’re a convicted sex offender. Your future will be bleak, at best.
You need an experienced attorney to protect your rights and interests, and to present the strongest possible defense against the allegations of the prosecutors.
At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we’ve been making those cases for our clients since 1955.
