There are four degrees of sexual assault codified in Connecticut General Statutes §§53a-70 through 53a-73a, each of which a knowledgeable Fairfield sexual assault attorney could help contest on a defendant’s behalf. Allegations of sexual assault are categorized within these degrees based primarily on two factors: whether the defendant used force to commit the assault in question, and whether they engaged in sexual contact or sexual intercourse with someone who could not or did not consent.
