Alabama Sexual Abuse Attorney

Alabama Sexual Abuse Laws

At Eversole Law, LLC, we are committed to defending people throughout the state of Alabama who've been arrested on sexual abuse charges.  Sexual abuse charges are broken into two separate classifications: sexual abuse in the first degree and sexual abuse in the second degree.

First degree sexual abuse charges will be brought against anyone who forces sexual contact against the victim's will. This includes fondling, suggestive rubbing, oral sex, rape, etc.   Sexual abuse in the first degree is a felony offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines.

Second degree sexual abuse charges will be filed against a person (19 years or older) who subjects a victim between the ages of 12 and 16 to sexual contact.  Sexual abuse in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to $6,000 in fines and no more than one year in jail.

Sexual abuse against a person who is incapable of giving consent because of a physical or mental disability could result in first or second degree charges.
