Sexual battery, or rape, carries some of the most serious penalties in the state. Depending on the severity of the sexual battery, you may face anywhere from 25 years to life for this felony charge.
There are additional penalties and punishments if the victim was or is currently a minor, if there were multiple perpetrators, or if the offender was an officer of the law or in another position of power. Additionally, if there were serious injuries as a result of the sexual battery, there may be additional charges and penalties added.
There is such a wide range of punishments for sexual battery, and it is not one-size-fits-all. A lawyer will help you understand the penalties you might be facing in your unique case.
