In Colorado, many felony sex crimes can carry an indeterminate-to-life prison sentence, meaning that if a person is convicted of certain felony sexual offenses, prison may be mandatory and there is no fixed release date from prison. Sexual Assault cases are therefore particularly serious and difficult cases in Colorado because of the high stakes involved. Not every criminal defense lawyer is equipped to defend these sorts of allegations as it requires specialized skills set and training.
An allegation of Sexual Assault can have multiple lifetime, life-altering implications, including sex offender registration and mandatory deportation if the accused is a non-citizen.
