Sex Crime Criminal Defense Attorney
Sexual Battery
In Tampa, Florida law defines what we all consider rape as sexual battery. Sexual battery is defined by state law as one person touching another person in an unwanted sexual way. Even if one person considers their actions to be in a flirting and non offensive way the other party may construe the same actions to be offensive and may file sexual battery charges.
For the state to file sexual battery charges there does not have to be signs of a struggle or physical evidence that an assault was made. Because of the seriousness of a sex crime it is only required that the crime be reported for the state to investigate the case. If you are under investigation or have been charged with a sex crime do not hesitate to contact a sex crime lawyer at The Criminal Defense Group in Tampa so we can protect your rights and fight the sex crime allegations against you.
The Tampa Criminal Defense Group aggressively defends clients who have been charged with sexual battery and other related sex crime charges in Tampa and other surrounding Florida communities. Being charged with a sex crime is a serious issue and requires the assistance of a skilled criminal defense attorney who specializes in sex crime litigation.

Consent and Your Defense
When the Florida Legislature wrote the sexual battery statute, it clarified words like force because clear definitions are essential to protecting the rights of everyone: the alleged victim and the defendant. Consent is another equally vital word for your defense.
