If you are guilty you could have to register an a sex offender so it's important to try to win the trial or have the case dismissed.

Sexual assault is a serious criminal offense. You need an attorney right away. Do not talk to the police without an attorney present. For the time being, make sure that you are alone with anyone at work, ever. Also, you will want to see if your attorney can subpoena video tapes from the store for the dates you are accused of the sexual assault.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Get a lawyer and make no statements without that person being present. The attorney may want to have you take a private polygraph on the matter. If you flunk it the results would be kept secret. If you pass it they are waived in front of your supervisors and any law enforcement involved.

You should speak to a criminal defense attorney about your case in more detail about your case. Do not put specific details about your case on a public website. Better off to talk to a criminal defense attorney for a private consultation, who can at that point assess your case, talk to you about defenses.

Any time that a person is accused of a crime that person should consult with an attorney. Additionally, if accused of a crime DO NOT talk with anyone other than your attorney about the facts of the incident.

Sexual Assault is obviously a very serious charge. A conviction requires registration with the sex offender registry. You should hire an attorney as soon as possible to see what, if anything can be done. If there is any opportunity to avoid the charges the earlier in the process a lawyer is involved the better the opportunity to help you.

You better hire a lawyer before you make a wrong move, like open your mouth to the wrong folks and incriminate yourself. Tread carefully, because you could be looking at a lifetime registration as a sex offender requirement if you make the wrong move.

Seek counsel and defend yourself. Although they should have to prove their case, in employment matters it is common that you will be asked to somehow show your innocence.
