Sexual assault is a very serious offense in Colorado.  Most of the charges require a lifetime registration as a sex offender, lifetime supervision on parole, probation or a lifetime in prison.  Sexual assault is often referred to as rape, date rape or statutory rape.  Sexual assault can also be on a child (meaning under 15 years old) or in a position of trust (meaning under 18 years of age and the actor is a parent, babysitter, teacher, coach or other similar position). 

If you are accused of sexual assault or suspect you might be accused of sexual assault, you should immediately contact an experienced sexual assault attorney.  You should not speak to police or prosecutors without an attorney.  You should not discuss the facts with anyone but your attorney. 

A common ploy by police to get a confession to sexual assault is to have the alleged victim call you and attempt to get you to discuss the events.  This happens prior to being charged, arrested, interviewed and often your awareness that there is a problem.  The conversation is designed to get evidence from your mouth to convict you, including agreeing that the accused said no, that you knew the accused's age, that you had sexual contact, and that you apologize for your actions.  The conversation is being recorded by the police.  The accuser has been coached by police about what to say and how to say it.  The police are sitting in the same room as the accuser.  If you get this call, hang up immediately and call an experienced sexual assault attorney.

If there is a possibility that you could be charged, you should talk with no one about the events, other than an attorney.  The police are not there to help you.  The prosecutors are not there to help you.  The accuser's friends are not there to help you.  These people believe the accuser and only want to put you in jail.  Call an experienced sexual assault attorney and get ready for the fight of your life.

These cases are very expensive.  Be prepared to pay 5 or 6 figures for adequate representation.  This may sound like too much, but you are risking your life.  Investigation and experts may cost more than $20000.00.  A good attorney will be more and worth it.  So, sell your car and house and get funds from everyone that is willing.  There is no better investment when accused of sexual assault.
