Sexual Assault in Georgia
Georgia code 16-6-5.1 has it that sexual assault may be committed when an individual with disciplinary or supervisory authority over another engages in sexual assault such as
- When a school principal, teacher or any other administrator engages in sexual contact with a student of the school.
- When an agent or employee of any county juvenile probation officer, community supervision office or department of juvenile justice engages in sexual contact with a parolee or probationer that is under the supervision of the office.
- When an employee of a hospital engages in sexual contact with a patient.
- When an employee of a law enforcement agency engages in sexual contact with a detainee.
- When an agent or employee of a juvenile facility, correctional facility, facility giving care or services to a disabled or a facility rendering child welfare or youth services engages in sexual contact with an individual who the offender knows is getting services from such facility.
In addition to this, a psychotherapist has engaged in a sexual assault if they have sexual contact with an individual who seeks counseling from them.
Furthermore, an employee, agent, or volunteer at any licensed facility has engaged in a sexual assault if they have sexual contact with someone who is admitted and is receiving the facility’s services.
If an offender is convicted of sexual assault, they will be the subject of jail time of up to 25 years and above or a steep fine not exceeding $100,000 or both. However, if the conviction relates to sexual assault involving a child (usually under 16 years of age), the offender will be sentenced to prison time of at least 25 years to 50 years.
However, if at the time of the offense, the victim of the sexual assault is at least 14 years of age but not older than 16 years of age, and the offender is four years older than the victim, the act will be termed as a “misdemeanor.”
