Sex Crimes in Denver, Colorado

Sex crimes can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies and a conviction can lead to a long prison sentence and registration as a sex offender. Some of the common sex crimes charges include sexual assault, unlawful sexual contact and sexual assault on a child.

Sexual Assault

Charges for sexual assault include rape – sexual penetration by force, as well as statutory rape (sexual intercourse with an individual under age 17) or sexual intrusion. Depending on the circumstances, an individual who commits sexual assault will be charged with a class 2 or class 3 felony.

Unlawful Sexual Contact

This involves knowingly touching someone’s intimate parts or causing another person to touch your intimate parts, without his or her consent or enticing a child to exposing his or her intimate parts.

A person who commits unlawful sexual contact can be charged with a class 1 misdemeanor. If threats or force are used, however, it is charged as a class 4 felony.

Sexual Assault on a Child

A person who knowingly subjects a child who is less than 15 years of age to any sexual contact can be charged with sexual assault, a class 4 felony. If force or threats of retaliation are involved, or if there is a pattern of sexual abuse, it is charged as a class 3 felony.
