If you need a knowledgeable, effective sexual assault defense lawyer in Media, Pennsylvania, or the surrounding area, the Law Offices of Joseph Lesniak, LLC, is an excellent choice.
An Effective Defense Is Possible
Sexual assault cases are complicated for a variety of reasons. In Pennsylvania, a sexual assault charge doesn’t imply that the accused used force, but only that there was a lack of consent. Unsurprisingly, this leads to “grey areas"—incidents in which the individual accused of sexual assault thought he or she had obtained consent, but the accuser says otherwise. The consumption of alcohol or controlled substances may further complicate the situation.
For a conviction of sexual assault, the prosecution must also prove that sexual intercourse occurred; otherwise, a different or lesser charge must be laid. Given that such cases typically don’t involve witnesses or tangible evidence, they can become “he said, she said” battles. The Law Offices of Joseph Lesniak, LLC, has the sophisticated legal knowledge and experience needed to develop effective defense strategies in such cases.
