FAQ's
How does Florida law define sexual Battery?
Florida Statute 794.011 is the law that defines what sexual battery is. Simply put it is having non-consensual sexual contact with somebody else using your sexual organ or an object. If the victim is physically or mentally helpless or incapacitated, a more serious charge of aggravated sexual battery can be bought.
What are common defenses to the charge for sexual Battery?
Claiming that the sexual encounter was, in fact, consensual, is the main defense that sexual battery defendants offer. Some will argue that they are not responsible for the offense because of mental illness. The best defense is proving that you were not present at the crime scene, having an alibi and an absence of DNA evidence can support this argument.
Do strangers commit most sexual crimes?
The majority of sexual crimes are committed by people who are known to the victim. This is especially the case with children and teenagers. Ninety-three percent of them know their attacker. For adults, the figure is around 90%. In 72% of cases, the victim knows the perpetrator well.
