What is Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault Under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.30?

Aggravated criminal sexual assault means sexual assault with weapons, great bodily harm, or involving children. This is the most serious sexual offense with enhanced penalties for aggravating circumstances.

Unlike standard sexual assault cases, aggravated cases involve complex evidence including weapon identification, severe injury documentation, and child victim procedures. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.

The key to defending aggravated criminal sexual assault charges lies in attacking the reliability of aggravating evidence and constitutional violations during investigation.
