Understanding Arizona Sexual Assault & Battery Charges

Under Arizona law, sexual assault involves sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact without consent.

Lack of consent may be charged when:

The alleged victim was impaired due to alcohol, drugs, or disability, and that impairment should have been apparent.
The alleged victim was deceived about the nature of the act.
The alleged victim was misled into believing the accused was their spouse.

Aggravated sexual assault charges may apply if so-called “date rape” drugs are alleged, or if serious physical injury is involved.

Penalties are severe:

Sexual assault is a Class 2 felony, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
Aggravating factors can add additional years.
Repeat convictions can drastically increase prison time, with a third conviction potentially doubling the 14-year sentence.

Defending Against Sexual Assault & Battery in Arizona

Although these cases are aggressively prosecuted, effective defenses can be made. Every case is unique, and our strategy will depend on the facts and evidence.

Common defenses include:

False accusations motivated by anger, revenge, or other personal reasons.
Consent, demonstrating that the encounter was voluntary.
Reasonable belief in consent based on the circumstances.
Lack of physical evidence supporting the allegations.
Mistaken identity or unreliable eyewitness testimony.

Mr. Ramos has conducted over 100 trials and is skilled at identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. His experience with forensic evidence, witness credibility, and cross-examination allows our firm to build persuasive defenses for our clients.
