What is Sexual Assault? Penalties for a Conviction in Omaha Understanding
Consent in Omaha Sex Assault Allegations Understanding Your Rights in a Sexual
Assault Investigation Reach Out to an Experienced Omaha Sexual Assault Attorney

Sexual assault accusations can be detrimental to a person’s career and
relationships, regardless of whether it is followed by an arrest or conviction.

with a possible jail sentence of up to 50 years. If you are facing a sex assault
allegation you should contact an Omaha sexual assault lawyer immediately. The

assault, contact a skilled sex crimes lawyer on our team to schedule a

WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT?

Sexual assault is any action where a person intentionally touches another person
or engages in sexual misconduct without the consent of the other party. In
Omaha, like the rest of Nebraska, sexual assault is broken down into three
different degrees:

First Degree Sexual Assault – According to Nebraska Revised Statute 28-319,
sexual assault in the first degree occurs when any person subjects another
person to sexual penetration either without the consent of the victim, knowing
the victim was mentally or physically incapable of resisting or appraising, or
when the actor is at least twelve years of age but less than 16. Sexual Assault
in the first degree is a Class II felony.

Second Degree Sexual Assault – Sexual assault in the second degree occurs when
any person causes serious personal injuries to the victim while subjecting them
to sexual contact without either the consent of the victim or knowing that the
victim was physically or mentally incapable of resisting or appraising. Sexual
Assault in the second degree is a Class IIA felony.

Third Degree Sexual Assault – Sexual assault in the third degree occurs when any
person subjects another individual to sexual contact without either the consent
of the victim or knowing that the victim was physically or mentally incapable of
resisting or appraising. Sexual assault in the third degree is a Class I
misdemeanor.

PENALTIES FOR A CONVICTION IN OMAHA

As previously stated, sexual assault in Omaha can result in three different
penalties, a Class II felony, a Class IIA felony, or a Class I misdemeanor. All
these punishments include possible jail time, with a Class II felony including a
potential prison term of up to 50 years. It is important to understand that a
conviction for sexual assault can derail your career, even if you are not facing
a felony charge. Each of these crimes will also require you to register as a sex
offender if convicted. A dedicated lawyer in Omaha can fight for you every step
of the way, protecting your rights throughout your sexual assault case and
developing a strong defense on your behalf.

UNDERSTANDING CONSENT IN OMAHA SEX ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS

The most prominent issue in sexual assault allegations is consent. In fact, a
person in Omaha can even be charged with sex assault if they knew or should have
known that the victim was unable to affirmatively consent to sexual contact.
This can occur when the alleged victim is too intoxicated or if they are a
vulnerable adult with a mental or functional impairment.

Under the assumption that an adult has the capacity to consent, an adult can
consent in a number of different ways. The most common form of consent that
Omaha sex assault lawyers see is physical reciprocation. This means that if an
adult actively engages in sexual contact, that will typically be considered
consent. However, the opposite is also true. If an adult resist sexual contact,
this can be deemed a lack of consent.

When determining whether a person has the capacity to consent, the burden is
always on the actor, or the person initiating sexual contact. This goes both
ways. The person who initiates the contact, male or female, must know that the
other person is willing and able to consent.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS IN A SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATION

People accused of sex assault have typically never been in trouble with law
enforcement and therefore do not know what to expect during a sex assault
investigation in Omaha. When you are under investigation for a sex crime, you do
have rights. Our dedicated Omaha sex assault attorneys can explain your rights
in these cases and ensure that they are protected. Some rights that individuals
should understand they do or do not have in these cases are:

 * You do have the right to remain silent
 * You do not have a right to lie to law enforcement
 * Police can be untruthful to the accused during an investigation
 * You do not have a right to examine the police report during investigation
 * You do not have the right to confront witnesses during an investigation
 * You do not have the right to present evidence of your innocence to law
   enforcement
 * You do not have the right to file charges against the accuser for false
   allegations
