Compassionate Advocates for Victims of Sexual Battery & Assault in Florida

Understanding Sexual Battery & Assault

If you or a loved one has experienced sexual battery or assault, it’s essential to understand your rights and options. Our experienced legal team at WEK Law is here to provide guidance and support throughout the legal process.

Sexual battery and assault encompass a range of non-consensual sexual acts, from unwanted touching to forcible penetration. In Florida, sexual battery includes any non-consensual penetration, while assault may involve unwanted touching of intimate parts. These crimes can have serious legal consequences and are classified as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances.

Navigating Florida’s Laws

Florida law takes sexual battery and assault cases very seriously. Charges can vary in severity based on factors such as the ages of the parties involved and the nature of the act. Our legal team at WEK Law is well-versed in Florida’s statutes and will work tirelessly to defend your rights and pursue justice on your behalf.

Consent and Legal Cases

Proving lack of consent is critical in sexual battery cases. Consent becomes even more complex when the victim is underage, mentally incapacitated, unconscious, or under the influence of drugs. Our attorneys understand the nuances of consent law and will advocate for your rights throughout the legal process.

Special Considerations for Authority Figures

When the perpetrator holds a position of authority, such as a healthcare provider, additional legal protections may apply. In these cases, the imbalance of power makes it impossible for the victim to provide true consent. Our legal team will ensure that these factors are taken into account when pursuing your case.
