A Blass Law Sex Crimes Lawyer Knows How an Aggravated Sexual Assault Conviction Can Affect Your Life
When a crime receives an “aggravated” tag, it means the charge is more serious than the typical offense. Aggravating factors often mean you’ll face a first- or second-degree felony charge.
Under Texas Penal Code Section 22.021, some common aggravating factors in a sexual assault case could include:
Weapons or Threats of Violence
If the accuser claims the perpetrator used a gun, knife, or other weapon or threatened violence while committing the sexual assault, the accused could face aggravated sexual assault charges.
The Victim’s Age
Aggravated sexual assault charges could occur if the alleged victim is very young or very old. This generally applies to those younger than age 14 and elderly victims, especially if a senior is old enough to struggle to defend themselves.
The Victim’s Disability
When a reported victim has physical or mental disabilities that prevent them from giving consent, understanding what happened, or protecting themselves, the prosecution will likely pursue aggravated sexual assault charges.
Drugging the Victim
If there is evidence to show the accused party used drugs to impair the victim before the assault, the case could support aggravated sexual assault charges.
Facing sexual offense allegations or charges can do significant damage to your reputation, relationships, and future. The assumptions others make, the possible sentence if convicted, and the damage to your family and reputation can be much worse when you are accused of an aggravated or violent sexual offense.

As a Lawyer-Scientist, Attorney Jay Blass Cohen takes a methodical approach to every step of building a robust criminal defense and aggressively fights to clear our clients’ names. We understand how life-altering it could be to stand accused of a crime that could lead to significant prison time, large fines, a permanent criminal record, exclusion on the sex offender registry, and other penalties.
We’ll investigate to uncover evidence or take other steps to show the court what really happened, or at least that you played no part in the crimes you stand accused of. The earlier we can present this evidence, the better. Sometimes, we prevent clients from ever facing charges by building a strong argument based on our own investigation.

How Will a Blass Law Lawyer Build a Strong Defense in My Sugar Land Aggravated Sexual Assault Case?
There are several ways we can approach developing a defense for a Sugar Land sex crime case. We conduct our own investigation and determine the strongest approach based on the circumstances, case facts, and available evidence.
Some of the factors we consider in these cases include:
- Whether all parties were of legal age and consented to the act
- If our client has an alibi for the time the assault occurred
- Whether this might be a case of mistaken identity, especially if the victim did not know their attacker
- If there is definitive evidence linking our client to the assault
- Whether the accuser is a credible witness, such as if they provide consistent statements
- If the accuser might have a motive to want to see our client arrested and convicted of a serious crime
- If there was a failure to maintain the chain of custody for any evidence
Using all the information available to us, we seek to end the case and clear our client’s name at every opportunity. We may present compelling evidence before they face charges to stop the process, get evidence thrown out and the case dismissed, or defend them aggressively at trial to win a “not guilty” verdict. Our approach and the best possible outcome are contingent on the case facts and available evidence.
