Sexual assault involves intentionally applying force to another person without that person’s consent. The act is committed with sexual intent or to violate the complainant’s sexual integrity. Sexual offences are complex and cover a broad range of fact scenarios, including but not limited to:
Exploitation, what is commonly thought of as “rape” and all forms of sexual violence
Groping or sexual touching of any person
Sharing sexual videos or pictures, without consent
Particular offences related to complainants under 18 and 16 years old
Depending on the facts alleged, a person could be charged with sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon, aggravated sexual assault, or other related charges. All of these are serious criminal charges. The penalties for sexual offences can be severe and include:
A criminal record
A jail sentence
Registration on the Sex Offender’s Information Registry and/or other provincial registries
Restrictions on one’s work or freedom to attend certain public places
