Sexual Assault Sentencing.

Many people facing sexual assault charges get so stressed out about having to go to court that they don’t give much thought to what will happen afterwards.

Nick Cake will explain to you that if you are convicted of the charge against you, you will be sentenced by a judge.  The judge will choose an appropriate sentence, which may include one or more of the following:

• A fine.
• A jail term.
• Probation.

Once you have paid your fine or served your jail term or probation, it’s over, right?  Not necessarily.  Unfortunately, there are often long-term consequences associated with having a criminal record.
