Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment as a criminal offense encompasses several possible offenses. It can, for example, involve exhibitionism or aggression below the threshold of sexual coercion. The number of cases involving sexual harassment via the internet is also increasing. This offense can be met, among other things, if someone sends nude photos unsolicited and against the express consent of the recipient.
In each individual case, it must be professionally investigated whether sexual harassment actually occurred. For example, the public prosecutor’s office sometimes charges sexual coercion with a significantly higher penalty, even though it was sexual harassment. For a defendant, a conviction for sexual harassment is better than a conviction for sexual coercion or even rape.
It often turns out that the accusation of harassment is made without grounds. We have already obtained dismissal of the case or acquittal for many clients. Such a situation requires specialized and experienced attorneys: Usually, it’s one person’s word against another’s, without witnesses, and with a manageable amount of evidence and circumstantial evidence. Only competent attorneys specializing in sexual offense law can effectively refute the prosecutor’s accusations. They also provide comprehensive advice to their clients. With this support, they can, for example, avoid making inexperienced statements that could prove fatal later in the proceedings.
