Over 100 Not Guilty findings & Case Dismissals on Sex Crime Charges!
Indecent Assault
Indecent Assault was amended by the Texas Legislature in 2019 as a charging option to less-serious sexual offenses.
This new offense allows law enforcement agencies to make arrests on a wider variety of cases that may not qualify as a felony. It’s important to note however, that even though Indecent Assault is a misdemeanor, it can be charged in addition to felony sex-crime offenses that carry lengthy prison sentences or required registration as a sex-offender.
Texas Law & Indecent Assault
A person commits this offense if, without the other person’s consent, and with the intent to sexually gratify themselves, they:
- Touch the anus, breast, or any part of the genitals of another person;
- Touches another person with the anus, breast, or any part of the genitals of any person;
- Exposes or attempts to expose another person’s genitals or sexually-intimate areas; OR
- Causes another person to contact blood, saliva, urine, feces, or sexual discharge, of any person.
If conduct of a person constitutes a charge of Indecent Assault as well as another crime, the person may be charged with Indecent Assault, the other crime, or both crimes.
