Sexual Assault / Rape
Rape Charge Defense in Houston: Brazoria, Ft. Bend, Galveston, Harris & Montgomery Counties
Sexual assault is a serious crime in the State of Texas. It is one that defendants are often wrongly accused of because the evidence in many of these cases is often based solely on oral testimony. Parties in a relationship may sometimes allege sexual assault occurred after having an argument in order to “get even.” Unfortunately, a great deal of damage can be done to a person’s life and reputation in the meantime. A few crimes that could be considered sexual assault under Texas law are:
- Rape
- Aggravated rape, which involves the use of a deadly weapon
- Date rape
- Statutory rape
- Drug-induced rape
- Child molestation

There is a lot at stake if you are facing charges of sexual assault even if there is no truth to the allegations. It is imperative to contact an experienced sexual assault lawyer like Greg Tsioros as soon as possible.
Consequences of a Sexual Assault Conviction
Of all these sanctions, being required to register as a sex offender can be the most devastating. Those who are required to do so endure a loss of freedom even after they have served their prison sentence. This loss of freedom may continue for the rest of an individual’s life, as he or she is normally required to update the sex offender registry indefinitely. Having your name published on the Internet in this manner can lead to:
- Loss of employment opportunities
- Restrictions on where you may reside
- Restrictions on with whom you may live
- Embarrassment and public ridicule
- Inability to pursue certain career fields
- Loss of child custody or visitation rights
