(g) The actor, while purporting to offer a medical service, engages in treatment or examination of a victim for other than a bona fide medical purpose or in a manner substantially inconsistent with reasonable medical practices; or
(h) The victim is physically helpless and the actor knows the victim is physically helpless and the victim has not consented.

This crime can be charged in Denver county Colorado or other Colorado counties as either a class 2, 3 or 4 felony, and is often referred to as Rape. As Colorado criminal lawyers working in Denver, Colorado, and nearby in Arapahoe County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, Weld County, Larimer County and Adams County, we often see Sexual Assault / Rape charges when there are allegations that a person forced their date or someone they met at a party, to have sex with them. Other common scenarios include a woman whose sexual activity with another is discovered by her boyfriend or family, and she wants to save face. We also see this Rape charge when, after consuming a large amount of alcohol, a woman wakes the next morning to discover she's had sexual intercourse with a new acquaintance and has an incomplete memory of giving consent. In each of these cases, it is critical that our clients not give any statements to the police, and make a record of the names of witnesses present just before, during, or after the reported sexual contact.

It is important to realize that sex offender sentencing in this felony matter generally involves some type of Indeterminate Sentencing. This is unique to sex offenses in Colorado. A sentence of this type requires the court to give the defendant a minimum sentence, but no maximum. The upper limit is left open, with the maximum being the defendant's natural life - or a lifetime sentence.
