In the state of Colorado, sexual assault includes a wide range of sexual acts perpetrated against another individual without consent. Colorado law classifies sexual assault into two different categories: Unlawful Sexual Contact and Sexual Assault.
In the context of
child abuse, unlawful sexual contact differs from sexual assault in that it does not involve penetration, which is required for a sexual assault charge. However, it still involves knowingly and inappropriately touching a child without their consent for the purpose of sexual arousal, constituting a serious violation of the child's rights and safety. This form of abuse can have lasting emotional and psychological effects on the child, even if it does not meet the legal criteria for sexual assault. It can apply to victims who are forced to touch the perpetrator privately. Colorado defines a person’s intimate parts as their genitalia, buttocks, or breasts.
Unlawful sexual contact can result in either a felony or a misdemeanor. Felony unlawful sexual contact involves the use of force, threats or coercion. It will also be considered a felony if the victim is physically or mentally incapacitated. This crime is charged as either a Class 4 or Class 6 felony and can result in up to 6 years in prison. The perpetrator may also be required to register as a sex offender.
A misdemeanor unlawful sexual contact charge will occur if there is no use of force, threats, or intimidation. The penalties for a misdemeanor charge of this caliber could result in fines, probation, or up to 18 months in jail.
