What is Criminal Sexual Assault Law?

Sexual assault is any sexual activity such as intercourse, penetration, touching, or any other act that is nonconsensual. Sexual assault charges may be filed even in circumstances where the victim was unconscious or unable to give consent for other reason such as intoxication or mental disability. Criminal sexual assault comes with serious penalties and punishment, as well as social stigma. The sexual assault charge may be devastating to a person's professional, social and personal life. Some consequences may be prison sentence, probation, mandatory counseling, sex offender registration or financial restitution.
