Understanding Sexual Battery Charges in San Diego

What Is Sexual Battery Under California Law?

Sexual battery in California involves touching another person’s intimate parts without their consent, with the intent to cause sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse. It’s a serious criminal charge that can lead to severe penalties, whether the contact was direct or through clothing.

What Situations Can Lead to Sexual Battery Charges?

  • Unwanted physical contact during social or workplace interactions
  • Non-consensual touching in private or public spaces
  • Allegations of sexual misconduct in intimate relationships
  • Accusations of inappropriate conduct at parties or gatherings

Even in cases where the contact was brief or unintended, sexual battery charges can still be filed.

Understanding Sexual Battery Penalties

Common Defense Strategies for Sexual Battery

False Accusations

Unfortunately, false accusations happen. We will thoroughly investigate the situation and challenge the credibility of the accuser if there is reason to believe the charges are false.

Consent

In many cases, the accused person believed the contact was consensual. We will present evidence showing that the interaction was consensual and work to clear your name.

Lack of Evidence

The burden of proof lies with the prosecution. If the evidence is weak or lacking, we will argue that the prosecution has not met its burden, and the charges should be dismissed.

Mistaken Identity

In some cases, the wrong person may be accused. We will investigate the facts of the case and present evidence to prove your innocence.

We all know that going to court can be very stressful. In my particular case I was arrested on a felony and misdemeanor charge. I mention this because this was the first time I ever had to call around trying to find the right lawyer and was unaware of how expensive attorneys can be, which only added on to my worries.Nonetheless, I called law firm after law firm and felt as if most just wanted to know my charges so that they could hurry and give me a quote. When I got into contact with Mr Kersey, it was a completely different experience, I felt he truly cared about me and understood my worries about possible conviction and my financial worries aswell. He reassured me multiple times on our first call that he would be able to defend me in court (which at the time I really needed to hear) , his confidence, understanding, and willingness to go out of his way to help me find a way to pay for representation sealed my choice with picking Kersey Law to represent me in court. The results, I had all charges, both felony’s and misdemeanors dismissed. The experience of having Kersey Law on my side was one of the best choices I have ever made as they always kept me up to date with everything and anything I needed to know before each court date in a timely fashion. Whenever I had any questions or felt nervous after or before a court hearing, I would reach out to Kersey law and they always made sure that all my questions and worries were addressed. They will communicate with you throughout the entire court process, you will not feel alone and you can rest assured that the people that are representing you in court are truly fighting for you, care about you and have your best interests in mind. With Kersey law you don’t have to go through this challenging process alone and will have someone on your side who can get the job done, like I mentioned prior, with their representation I had all my charges dismissed. This law firm is the right option as they will be there for you from start to end. I will forever be thankful for all of the team at Kersey law!
Best Attorney Experience Jamahl was my first criminal lawyer — and I hope to God my last. What you see is what you get with him. Not only is he an attorney, but he’s also a YouTuber, so you can actually check out his channel and see for yourself how knowledgeable he really is. During the most difficult time of my life, Jamahl was there to tell it like it is. Between court dates, he didn’t waste time with unnecessary calls or meetings, but whenever I had a question, he answered right away. I trusted him to do his job, gave him whatever information he asked for, and it worked out perfectly. He really listened to where I was coming from and understood my case details. Another thing I appreciated was his firm’s pricing — straightforward, clear, and with no hidden fees. At the same time, I had been paying another attorney who charged me for “case review meetings” every month without providing documentation or results. I felt completely taken advantage of. Now I know why that firm is called “The Moore Group” — more money, more frustration, and no results. In the end, thanks to Jamahl and his team, I went from facing two misdemeanors to only having to complete seven anger management classes — and then it will all be dismissed. That’s an incredible outcome, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I wish Mr. Kersey and his family all the best. Thank you to him and everyone who helped make this happen. Don’t forget to check out his channel: 👉 Jamahl Kersey YouTube
Life savers!!! They saved me from one stupid night of pushing and shoving that got blown out of proportion and leaded me to jail time and some charges. They were able to work quickly and efficiently to have all charges dropped and save me from this misunderstandment. They worked in a group to make sure all the files Were uploaded and updated me everyday about my case!!!! Honestly, I never thought I would have found myself needing any defensive lawyers but never say never. Would highly recommend this group. Worth every cent!!!

Charges Dropped
August, 21th 2024
When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty.
Not Guilty
July, 16th 2024
As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison.
