What Crimes Fall Under Sexual Assault?

“Sexual assault” is a broad legal category that includes numerous offenses under Oregon and Washington law. These charges can vary significantly in severity, from misdemeanor allegations to serious felony offenses that carry long-term consequences.

Crimes that may fall under this category include:

Sexual abuse (in various degrees)
Rape and attempted rape
Unlawful sexual contact or touching
Sexual coercion or exploitation
Child molestation or sexual misconduct involving a minor
Indecent exposure or public indecency
Online solicitation or luring offenses

Both states classify these offenses differently depending on specific factors, such as the age of those involved, whether force or coercion was used, and prior criminal history. As a result, the legal consequences can vary widely, but all require immediate and serious attention.

Potential Penalties & Long-Term Consequences

Convictions of sexual assault crimes can carry some of the most severe penalties, including:

Jail or prison sentences that can span months to decades
Mandatory minimum sentences, especially for offenses falling under Oregon’s Jessica’s Law
Sex offender registration, often for life
Strict probation or community custody conditions
Limitations on housing, employment, and personal relationships

For example, a Class A felony rape conviction in Oregon may result in a prison sentence of 20 years or more, a lifetime sex offender registration requirement, and a fine of as much as $375,000. Additionally, a misdemeanor offense, such as sexual abuse in the third degree, can lead to incarceration for up to 364 days, required sex offender registration, and a fine of $6,250. The penalties are also severe in Washington.

It is important to note that the consequences of being accused of sexual assault extend well beyond the courtroom. An allegation alone can eliminate career prospects, ruin relationships, and negatively alter your reputation in the community.
