Rape Lawyer in Fort Bend County

Charged with sexual assault? My firm can help!

The Texas Penal Code refers to rape as "sexual assault." In Tex. Pen. Code § 22.011, sexual assault is defined as intentional sexual penetration of another person without their consent. This can be accomplished through physical force or violence, threats of such force or violence, or by taking advantage of someone who is incapable of resisting or of giving consent due to age, incapacity, disability, or intoxication.

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Tex. Pen. Code § 22.021 states that sexual assault can be aggravated if the actor causes serious bodily injury to the victim; threatens serious bodily injury or death; uses or displays a deadly weapon; administers a drug to incapacitate the victim ("roofie"); if the victim is younger than 14 years old; or if the victim is an elderly or incapacitated person.
