Campus Sexual Misconduct Criminal Defense Lawyers in Athens
Experienced & Skilled Legal Advocacy
Sexual misconduct is a serious crime, and those guilty of it should be held accountable for their horrific actions. However, it is not uncommon for someone to be wrongly accused or charged with sexual Misconduct, particularly college students. In instances of heavy drinking and partying, such as college campuses, the risks of false accusations of misconduct vastly increase. If this is the case for you, our Athens criminal defense lawyers of the Law Offices of J. Lee Webb want to fight for your rights.
Title IX is the primary investigative force in the event of campus sexual assault, violence, or misconduct, and it places intense pressure on educational institutions to resolve allegations as quickly as possible. This, of course, prevents the accused from having the time to properly uphold his or her case. In some cases, even the EEOC may get involved.
Unlike other sexual misconduct accusations, those which allegedly occur on university or college campuses must be handled through the school’s administrative faculty, regardless of the results of officially investigations or trials. These punishments can be severely consequential, which is why there is no time to waste in regards to obtaining legal defense you can rely on.
If convicted, you may face the following administrative penalties and more:
- Suspension
- Expulsion
- Removal from organizations, clubs, classes, on-campus jobs, or sports programs
- Financial compensation for the alleged victim
As you can see, the consequences are life-changing, if not life-ending--protecting your personal and professional life has never been more important than when you are facing allegations or charges of campus sexual misconduct. If you have been charged of campus sexual assault, it is vital you do not give any statements to anyone, whether it be law enforcement, Title IX representatives, fraternity brothers, close friends, RA’s, etc. Doing so before you speak to a trusted Athens criminal defense lawyer, such as ours at the Law Offices of J. Lee Webb, can result in disastrous consequences.
If you get a call from an EOO, Title IX, Student Council member, RA, or anyone else, it is recommended you call our firm before you divulge any answers.
