Sexual Offense Attorney in Lawrenceville

People charged with sexual assault or child sex offenses face hostile prosecutors and harsh public opinion.  Most people, even some criminal defense attorneys, are only too willing to believe the worst about those accused of sex offenses.  Our firm knows that not all people accused of sex offenses are in fact guilty of the charges.  We believe that those facing such grave charges deserve the best possible defense and representation. 

            At Lawrence Lewis, P.C. we recognize that a conviction for a sex crime will almost certainly result in prison time, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and a permanently destroyed reputation.  In 2006, sex offender laws were overhauled in Georgia, and four (4) sexual offenses were modified to require a mandatory minimum life in prison, which means thirty years in prison before the convicted person is considered for parole.  These include:

(1)   Rape (O.C.G.A. § 16-6-1), which is defined as any penetration of the female sex organ by the male sex organ, forcibly and against the female’s will;

Question: While we were together my ex would put ecstacy in my drinks without my knowledge for his own sexual gratification and several times I had to be hospitalized and did not know why until one day I caught him doing it. Needless to say I left him...now 4 years after I left him he is trying to sue me for money he paid on my car and he feels I owe him the money back! Apparently he must have forgotten about the thousands of dollars in medical bills he left me with! The Nerve! My question is...what is the statute of limitation for me to sue him for what he did to me which I think is a felony and for my medical bills? It would be so unfair for him to get a judgement from me for money after what he did to me and the bills I was left from it. I guess I was silly enough to assume that he would not ask for anything from me after what he did to me! But if he thinks I own him then he owes me too!

Answer: And so the drama continues...Do you think you can sue for a felony? Whether the offense is a crime or a misdemeanor has nothing to do with anything, because the statute of limitations has run on any offense you might want to pursue now. Whether you sue him or he sues you, your relationship continues. Good luck.
