Sexual Assault Defense Attorney

Sexual assault charges are life-changing. The stakes are high, and the stigma can hit immediately. In many cases, the allegations are months or even years old, and the case depends heavily on credibility.

Racine Defense approaches sexual assault cases with a trial-ready mindset and a focus on evidence. The goal is to protect your rights, challenge weak claims, and fight for your future.

Call now to talk through your situation and protect your options.

The Basics Of Sexual Assault Charges

Sexual assault cases are different from most criminal cases. They often involve private situations, limited witnesses, and evidence that can be hard to interpret without a careful investigation.

Many cases start when someone tells a friend, a family member, a counselor, or a teacher. That disclosure can lead to a police report, interviews, and a formal investigation. In a moment, your life can shift.

Why These Cases Feel Different

These charges can carry severe penalties and long-term consequences. They can also bring intense community judgment even before anything is proven in court.

Because the consequences are so serious, the details matter. A clear strategy early can protect options that might disappear later.

Common Situations That Lead To Allegations

• A report made weeks, months, or years after the event

• A misunderstanding or dispute about consent

• Alcohol, memory gaps, or unclear timelines

• A breakup, conflict, or retaliation claim

• A family dispute tied to parenting time or household stress

• A disclosure involving a child or teen that triggers mandatory reporting

What You Are Up Against

Sexual assault charges can affect every part of your life. The court case is only one part of the problem.

This Can Include

• Prison exposure in serious cases

• Probation or extended supervision with strict conditions

• Sex offender registration concerns

• No-contact orders that limit where you can go and who you can speak with

• Employment, housing, and licensing barriers

• Lasting damage to reputation in the community

The right plan depends on the allegation, the evidence, your history, and the timeline. A strong defense starts with understanding what the state must prove and where the case is weakest.

How We Defend Sexual Assault Cases

Racine Defense builds a defense by testing the story, the evidence, and how the investigation was handled. In these cases, assumptions are common. We focus on facts.

Challenging The Evidence And The Story

• Looking for gaps and contradictions in statements over time

• Testing whether the timeline makes sense

• Challenging unfair inferences and incomplete reports

• Identifying missing witnesses, missing records, and missing context

Investigating What Happened And What Was Said

Interviews matter in sexual assault cases. When allegations involve children, recorded interviews are often treated as powerful evidence. But interview quality can vary, and earlier conversations can shape what is later said.

We review interviews closely, compare statements, and evaluate whether proper techniques were used so the case is judged fairly.

Challenging DNA And Forensic Claims

DNA and lab findings can be misunderstood. Even when testing exists, it does not always prove what the state claims it proves. We scrutinize lab reports, chain of custody, collection methods, and what the results do and do not show.

Addressing Registration Risk Early

Sex offender registration can change where someone can live, work, and travel. If registration is a possibility, we address that risk early and fight for outcomes that avoid unnecessary long-term restrictions when the law allows.

Fighting Unfair Supervision Rules

If a case leads to probation or supervision, conditions can become a second punishment. Restrictions may involve internet access, devices, contact rules, travel limits, and monitoring requirements. We push back on conditions that are not needed or not tied to the facts of the case.

Trial-Ready Representation

Sexual assault cases are often trial-focused because prosecutors may not compromise easily. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial by building a record, challenging weak evidence, and being ready to cross-examine key witnesses.

What To Do Next If You Were Accused Or Under Investigation

A Few Smart Steps Can Protect You

• Do not speak with police or investigators without legal advice

• Do not contact the complainant or witnesses, even to “clear things up”

• Save messages, emails, call logs, and social media related to the situation

• Write down your timeline while it is still fresh

• Do not delete anything, even if you think it looks bad

• Bring all paperwork, notices, and bond conditions to your consultation

In many cases, early decisions shape the rest of the case. Getting advice early can prevent avoidable mistakes.
