Juvenile Sexual Assault on a Child
Sexual Assault on a Child in Colorado by juveniles, C.R.S. 18-3-405, is a very serious offense compared to exploration between boys and girls from our childhoods. This is true because the government now wants to protect themselves from possible criticism if they don't file a case and the juvenile happens to reoffend.
District Attorneys in Jefferson, Adams County, Denver, Larimer, Weld, and Douglas County are also fearful that they may lose their job or be criticized if a child / juvenile accused of a sex offense like Sexual Exploitation of a Child or Sexual Assault on a Child isn't prosecuted.
Basis for the Colorado Underage Juvenile Sexual Assault on a Child Charge
Sexual assault on a child by a juvenile who is less than eighteen years old usually occurs when a teen views pornography and attempts to imitate what they've seen with a child victim. This crime requires sexual contact between juveniles with greater than a four year age difference. In many cases, false allegations of sexual assault are alleged with no evidence, as children craving attention or seeking revenge know the government's willingness to prosecute.
It is important that you talk with us prior to giving permission for your child to meet with law enforcement. We can detail the harmful consequences of a meeting with police and discuss many options for your child's protection from a sexual assault conviction.
A conviction for any sex based crime could require your child to register as a sex offender. Sex offender registration has many connected issues that are difficult to predict. A criminal record of a juvenile sexual offense can have a damaging effect on your child's future.
Supervision of Juvenile Sexual Assault Children
Throughout Colorado, sex crimes by children have supervision under the strict standards of the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB). This board will dictate where your child lives, when they must leave the house if other children are present, safety plans at school and other trips, supervision and treatment. This program is narrowly tailored and doesn't allow for variables depending on the specifics of the crime and needs of the victim and child sex offender in Denver. In many cases we find that the government does far more harm by abruptly splitting up families, than the original offense caused.
