Sexual Battery

Orange County Sexual Battery Defense Attorney

In the state of California, the criminal charge of sexual battery is commonly confused as sexual assault. In actuality, it is defined under §243.4 of the 2010 California Penal Code as the unlawful touching of another person for the purposes of sexual arousal, gratification or the sexual abuse of the victim. Due to the invasive nature of this sex crime and the extensive damage (both physical and emotional) that is sustained by the victim, this is not a crime that is treated lightly by the law. California legislation is ruthless on handling these types of perpetrators.

Penalties for the convicted will include the following:

  • Imprisonment in county jail for up to a year; and
  • A monetary fine up to $2000

Depending on the severity of the crime, penalties could also include:

  • Imprisonment in state jail for two, three or four years; and
  • A monetary fine up to $10,000
