Honolulu Sexual Assault in the First Degree Lawyers

In Hawaii, there are four classes of sexual assault crimes. These crimes range from 1st-degree to 4th-degree, with 1st-degree being the most serious. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree sexual assaults are felonies, whereas 4th-degree sexual assault is a misdemeanor. You can be charged with 1st-degree sexual assault by knowingly engaging in sexual penetration with a person 14 years of age or younger.

Sexual Assault in the First Degree

Being accused of a sex crime in Hawaii is a very serious offense. Although any sex crime is serious, when it involves children, the punishment for these crimes will be even more severe. In Hawaii, sexual crimes involving children under the age of 14-years old will be charged under §707-730 Sexual assault in the first degree which is a Class A felony.

Punishment if Convicted

First-degree sexual assault/Class A felony: Punishable by up to 20 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to $50,000. In addition, a 1st-degree sexual assault conviction will require lifetime sex offender registration.

The stigma associated with being convicted of a sex crime against a child can be life-altering. As a convicted felon and being on lifetime sexual offender registration you may not be able to rent an apartment or seek employment if a background check is required. In addition, you will have to endure the embarrassment of friends and family members finding out about your felony sex crimes conviction.

Thankfully I have not had to utilize AOR's legal services, but I am thoroughly impressed with everything that they provide, everything that they legally stipulate, as well as their customer service team. I had many questions that I would periodically call back to ask about, and both Noslen and Stacy were so incredibly helpful and patient! Noslen follows up so well and Stacy is so fun to talk to! They are selling a product that they can stand behind, and I so appreciate that they trust the free market to decide. I called USCCA in this process to understand what they offer as well and, unfortunately, the USCCA representative that I spoke to resorted to an ad hominem argument against AOR that did not stand up to the facts after I did some basic research and read through AOR's policies and agreements. Overall, my husband and I are grateful that AOR exists, especially for those who live in states that are not self-defense friendly, and that they seem to be able to back up what they say!

I haven't had to use my membership benefits yet and hope to never need to BUT the peace of mind knowing it's there is HUGE. Everyone says they would rather be tried by 12 vs. carried by 6 and I agree although if that's your logic, you may want to have a good lawyer to help you during your trial. This is the most affordable way to get that done

I love AOR and glad to be a member and affiliate. I hope I never have to use them but it gives me a peace of mind knowing if I ever do, they got my back. Big Thank You to Mr. Belcher. I ran a flyer idea by them due to me being a freedom affiliate and not having a hug following to be an armed affiliate. He informed me that goes against the guidelines and I immediately apologized and assured him I wouldn’t be using them flyer and deleted it from my device. He said he loved my enthusiasm for AOR and he will get with his business development team and brainstorm how they can support me and my individual needs as a freedom affiliate. Fingers crossed he can make something happen but if not, im still proud to be a member.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Kay! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm for AOR and your support as both a client and affiliate. We’re glad James was able to provide clear guidance and take the time to understand your ideas and individual needs. We’re grateful to have you as part of the AOR community and truly appreciate your trust in our team!
