What are the different forms of sexual crimes and offences recognized by the Criminal Code?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Criminal Code distinguishes several offences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Rape<\/strong> (sexual penetration imposed by coercion, threat, violence, or surprise)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Sexual assault<\/strong> (a sexual act without penetration: touching, inappropriate gestures, forced kissing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Aggravated sexual violence<\/strong> (against a minor, committed by multiple perpetrators, by a relative, with a weapon, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sexual harassment<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indecent exposure<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pimping<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Non-consensual sharing of intimate images<\/strong><br>These acts are provided for and punished under French law and require appropriate legal support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How do you file a complaint for rape or sexual assault?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can file a complaint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At a police station or a gendarmerie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By sending a letter to the Public Prosecutor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the direct assistance of your lawyer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ma\u00eetre Lois Pamela LESOT helps you prepare your defense, gather evidence, and protect your interests from the very first interactions with the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. What are the rights of victims of rape or sexual assault?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victims have the right to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To be assisted by a lawyer at every stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To request protective measures (protection order, restraining measures)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To seek compensation for damages before the courts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To receive medical and psychological support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your lawyer ensures that each of these rights is respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. What happens after filing a complaint?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>The investigation<\/strong> (police custody of the suspect, hearings, confrontations, medical examinations, collection of evidence)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>The investigation phase (judicial investigation)<\/strong> (formal indictment of the suspect)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>The trial<\/strong> before the Criminal Court or the Assize Court<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your lawyer supports and advises you at every stage of the criminal proceedings and pleads for the recognition of your status as a victim and full compensation for your damages during the hearing or trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Can I receive psychological support during the proceedings?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. In addition to legal support, you can receive psychological care from professionals specialized in sexual violence. Ma\u00eetre Lois Pamela LESOT can refer you to appropriate organizations and support services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. What are the time limits for taking action?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The limitation periods depend on the offence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>20 years<\/strong> from the date the offence was committed in the case of rape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>30 years<\/strong> from the age of majority for the rape of a minor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>6 years<\/strong> for sexual assault<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>10 years<\/strong> from the age of majority for sexual assault on a minor over the age of 15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>20 years<\/strong> from the age of majority for a sexual assault committed against a minor under the age of 15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sooner the victim takes action, the greater the chances of gathering useful evidence and witness statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Can my attacker be tried even without a direct witness?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The victim\u2019s statements, medical certificates, messages, CCTV footage, expert reports, and contextual evidence may be sufficient to establish guilt. Your criminal defense lawyer ensures that all evidence is properly used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.
