Sexual assault is one of the most common criminal charges in Texas. If not defended properly by an assault lawyer, it could lead to a more serious consequence.
The following story is one of the many examples of why you should consider hiring an experienced lawyer to help you properly defend your case.
In Houston, two men were both sentenced to 15 years in prison on unrelated felony charges of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact
One of the accused is a 50-year old man who was convicted of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact after evidence was presented and revealed that the man sexually abused his victim on multiple occasions over a six-month period when she was 16 years old.
According to a press release, an investigation was launched into allegations of child sexual abuse after the victim disclosed the abuse to an investigator for the Department of Family and Protective Services (commonly referred to as Child Protective Services, or “CPS”) for unrelated reasons. Police authorities investigated the case.
During the trial, evidence showed that the accused had recently brought the victim to the United States from Nigeria with the promise of a better life.
In a separate trial, another man was also convicted on felony charges of Sexual Assault of a Child and Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact on August 1, 2019. During the trial, evidence was presented against the 39-year old man, that he had known the victim he abused for a number of years, and that she had trusted him. During the victim’s testimony, it was revealed that the man also threatened to sexually abuse her younger sibling.
On August 2 the jury assessed 15 years in prison for Sexual Assault of a Child and 8 years for Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact.
Sexual Assault of a Child and Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact are both second-degree felonies punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

A Houston pastor accused of sexual assault on a 13-year-old parishioner has denied sexual contact and blamed the girl for explicit messages he sent her, according to police authorities.
The 65-year old former pastor was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child and sexual assault of a child.
He served as the pastor of in Dallas area for nearly two decades and became the subject of an investigation in June after the teen reported the abuse.
The teen said her pastor had been having sex with her for many months, between August and December 2018. Authorities recovered screenshots of sexually explicit Instagram conversations between the girl and her pastor, including nude photos from the man, prosecutors said. The accused former pastor took the 13-year-old to his home to spend the night in August, and had sex with her in the morning, according to police.
Prosecutors say the abuse continued in October 2018, when the accused former pastor picked the girl up in a truck and allegedly had sex with her in a camper in a parking lot.
In December, when the girl was 14, the accused former pastor forced her to perform oral sex on him in the truck.
During the hearing, the accused former pastor admitted the messages were sexually explicit, and he said he and the teen had arranged plans to meet for sexual encounters.
When asked if he felt the communication was harmless, the accused former pastor said, “Well when you’re dealing with that person, it’s harmless, man, because she initiates most of that kind of stuff.”
He repeatedly blamed her for the sexually explicit messages he sent. The accused admitted to owning the camper, taking the girl shopping and spending the night together, but said there was no sexual contact between them.
Sexual Assault conviction may lead to:
- Loss of custody of your children.
- Loss of your job
- Loss of housing or your lease.
- Penalties ranging from a fine of up to $500 – $10,000 and up to 2 – 20 years in prison, depending on whether the charge is classified as a misdemeanor or felony.

Sexual assault is one of the most common criminal charges in Texas. If not defended properly by an assault lawyer, it could lead to a more serious consequence.
Just recently, a famous movie director allegedly sexually assaulted an unnamed victim — given the name Jane in the article to protect her anonymity — while she was unconscious. The reported assault occurred in 2015 after the director invited Jane to a business meeting in Manhattan to discuss collaborating on a TV pilot.
According to the victim, she began feeling “fuzzy” after having dinner with the director but still accompanied him to another bar because she “was excited about the career opportunity.” The next thing she remembered is waking up naked with the director’s “face in her crotch and his fingers inside her.”
In addition, the alleged victim sought treatment for sexual assault after her meeting with the director. Additionally, two people close to Jane reportedly confirmed that she told them about the assault immediately after it happened.
To defend the accusations against him, the director stated that the allegation is an outrageous defamatory hit piece, making extraordinarily offensive assertions that the director engaged in heinous sexual misconduct, criminal wrongdoing, and other inappropriate behavior, which are vehemently disputed and denied by the director.
Earlier this year, the director faced similar charges from his daughter who accused him of molesting her when she was a child. His daughter also accused him of taking her to visit sex workers in overseas shooting locations when she was a teen. The accused director has denied the allegations.

Assault – Family Violence, in this case, is a Class A Misdemeanor with a punishment range of up to one year in county jail and/or a fine up to $4,000. If not properly defended by a defense lawyer, it could lead to the worst consequence.
An example of an assault case happened to a 73-year-old Astros fan who now faces a misdemeanor assault charge after allegedly hitting a Yankees supporter during a playoff game.
The accused is a former justice of the peace in Montgomery County. He was accused of slapping the opposing fan in the back of the head after an argument in their seats at Minute Maid Park, according to police authorities.
The man chastised the Yankees fan behind him when he clapped at an Astros player striking out in the eighth inning of the ALCS game, according to the person who witnessed the altercation in Section 105.
The former magistrate berated the young man for cheering and he apologized. As the fan spoke to his mother, grasping what had occurred, the accused turned around and slapped the man several times in a row, according to the witness.
The young man and his mother left near the end of the game, which was tied, and an officer escorted the accused out of the section.
The man was placed on probation for one year after pleading guilty in 2013 to a federal disaster fraud charge. Authorities said he tried to fraudulently obtain about $120,000 in disaster relief funds in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.

In criminal cases involving non-citizens, authorities often place an immigration hold or immigration detainer on the person so that they can take them into custody or start an investigation when they are released.
If a non-citizen is arrested and has an immigration hold, it is important to contact an attorney with experience in both criminal law and immigration law. Once in immigration custody, the non-citizen will often be moved to a distant immigration holding facility. If the non-citizen is moved to immigration custody prior to resolution of their criminal case, the immigration authorities may or may not return the non-citizen to criminal court for a scheduled criminal court appearance.
In Galveston, a 56-year old who was charged with sexual assault was also placed under immigration hold after allegedly harassing a 14-year old girl.
He is accused of luring a girl under the age of 14 into his apartment, locking the door behind her and proceeding to sexually assault her.
The victim’s father told police he saw his daughter walking out of another apartment unit in Galveston.
As a defense to the case filed against him, the man told police the girl knocked on his door asking for water. He said she told him to engage in a sexual act with her. He told police she then jumped on him, but he did not know if he penetrated her.
According to public records, he is on an immigration hold at Galveston County jail. His bond is set at $80,000 for the felony charge.
Lawyer of the Area
If you obtain “immigration hold” on your criminal act, you need to get the best attorney to get the criminal case to dismiss or reduced so that your immigration problem will be reduced. If you don’t fix the criminal allegation, you may never get a right to stay in the U.S. So, hire an experienced criminal attorney to fix the criminal allegation so you will avoid or reduce your immigration status in the U.S.
