Child Abuse – Child Enticement – Sexual Assault Attorneys Madison

Being accused of child enticement or sexual assault of a child creates an immensely negative impact on your future due to the stigma attached to sexual crimes. Your reputation can be seriously damaged by the accusations alone. Unfortunately, it is very simple to accuse someone of child sexual abuse and false allegations are more common than one would think.

In 2008, Wisconsin Child Protective Services (CPS) received 6,741 complaints of sexual assault. Of these, 1,594 were substantiated, 305 were accusations with no information and 4,842 were unsubstantiated. According to a 2009 study released by the Wisconsin Statistical Analysis Centre, eight percent of all reported sexual assaults (both juvenile and otherwise) in Wisconsin were unfounded.

Defending the accused takes knowledge and skill. The Criminal Defense Attorneys at Eisenberg Law Offices, located in Madison, Wisconsin, have the knowledge and experience to aggressively defend you against child sexual assault allegations

What Is Child Sexual Assault?

Child sexual assault covers various sexual criminal and civil offenses involving an adult and a minor. In the state of Wisconsin, the age of consent for sexual acts is 18. Children 17 and younger are considered minors. It is illegal for adults to engage in any form of sexual activity with children under 18.

Types of child sexual assault or abuse include exposure of genitals to a child, physical contact with a minor’s private parts, or a child having physical contact with an adult’s genitalia, over or under clothing, showing pornography to a child or taking pornographic pictures of a minor, exposing a child to obscene phone calls or online pornographic communication. Child enticement is the deliberate act of convincing or trying to convince a minor to enter a dwelling, building or a secluded place with the intention of committing a sexual act.
