Understanding Sexual Assault Under Colorado Law
In Colorado, sexual assault is governed by C.R.S. § 18-3-402. The statute covers sexual intrusion or penetration under circumstances including lack of consent, incapacity, physical helplessness, certain age-based situations, and certain positions of authority. The charge level depends on the facts alleged, and not every case is charged the same way.
Because these charges can carry severe criminal and collateral consequences, careful defense work is essential.
- Base felony level: Sexual assault is generally charged as a Class 4 felony unless a different statutory subsection applies.
- Class 3 felony circumstances: Certain allegations involving physical helplessness, force, violence, or serious threats may be charged as class 3 felonies under the statute.
- Class 2 felony circumstances: The charge may increase further in cases involving factors such as a deadly weapon, serious bodily injury, or aid from another person.
