Rape and Sexual Assault

Charlotte Sexual Assault Attorneys

Mecklenburg County Rape Lawyers

At Ross & Hoel PA, when our sexual assault defense attorneys get notice from a client that an investigation is happening or rape charges are likely to be filed, we go into "full court press" defense mode. We get involved as early on in the investigation as possible because in sexual assault and rape cases, we know that time is of the essence.

For clients facing sexual battery, child abuse, or statutory rape charges, everything is on the line. They are not just facing criminal charges; they are facing condemnation by their families, contempt from the community, possible termination of their employment. Even before they have a chance to defend themselves, they are determined to be sex offenders and may never be able to live in the community again even if acquitted of all charges.

Domestic Violence · Child Pornography · Statuary Rape

Also, in Mecklenburg County, accusations of rape, including sexual assault on a child and statutory rape and domestic violence cases, may lead to a person being overcharged in those cases. If we can get involved early on in the defense of sexual assault charges, the chances of getting extraneous charges dismissed or reduced are greatly increased.

If you have been accused of sexual activity with a student or a child in your care; of having child pornography in your possession; or if you have a sexual relationship with a minor, you need to talk to an attorney who is highly qualified in the defense of sexual assault charges.
