Sexual Assault Litigation | Sexual Assault Non-Prosecution

SJKP promptly contacted individuals present at the second location to document what occurred. 

Their accounts indicated that the client merely brushed the accuser’s arm during conversation. 

Importantly, no witness observed discomfort, avoidance, or objectionfrom the complainant. 

These statements became foundational evidence in sexual assault litigation, demonstrating that the conduct lacked coercive or sexual intent.

To determine whether the client’s behavior could fall under sexual assault litigation, SJKP analyzed the event using established standards: the complainant’s reaction, the parties’ relationship, the spontaneous nature of the contact, and objective contextual details. 

These criteria recognized by New York courts showed that the alleged conduct did not meet the threshold of sexual misconduct. 

This alignment with legal precedentsignificantly strengthened the defense.

New York courts require evaluating the degree of discomfort, the intent, and the context in which the incident occurred. 

SJKP showed that the complainant did not express discomfort, and the contact was brief and incidental. 

These factors are central in sexual assault litigation, where the definition of unlawful touching requires purposeful intrusion on sexual autonomy.

Sexual assault allegations require proof that the accused acted with clear sexual intent and that the contact caused or was intended to cause sexual humiliation.

SJKP demonstrated that none of these factors were present. 

This argument, aligned with sexual assault litigation standards, showed the accusation lacked evidentiary merit.

Investigators recognized that the client’s behavior did not meet statutory requirements for sexual assault. 

SJKP’s evidence package demonstrated objectively that no violation of sexual autonomy occurred. 

This precise alignment with sexual assault litigation criteria ensured no further action was taken.

The client avoided criminal charges, workplace sanctions, and reputational harm. 

The outcome shows how early engagement with experienced defense counsel knowledgeable in sexual assault litigation can dramatically change the direction of a case.
