New York, NY, United States, 10/30/2021 / Top Wire News /
Sexual assault laws in Texas are notoriously complicated to navigate and this is true for both the victims and the accused. This is especially the case when a spouse or intimate partner is involved in the alleged assault. Dallas criminal defense lawyers Broden & Mickelsen have published a resource that aims to help the public understand Texas laws on sexual assault involving a spouse.
Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyer Mick Mickelsen, partner at Broden & Mickelsen says that “In some cases, people mistakenly believe that it is impossible to sexually assault a spouse because the couple is married. However, this is an outdated concept and no longer the law in any state in the country. In a handful of states, the law carves out narrow exceptions for sexual assault that takes place in a marriage and an individual may be charged with a less serious offense. However, this is not the law in Texas.”
The board-certified criminal appeals expert provides details on the following areas:
-
Sexual assault in marriage under Texas Law
-
Statute of limitations for sexual assault on a spouse in Texas
-
Penalties for sexual assault on a Spouse in Texas
-
Potential defenses against allegations of sexual assault on a spouse in Texas
