Pre-Charge Second-Degree Sexual Assault – Dane County (January 2026)

Result: Prosecution Declined; No Criminal Charges Filed

Handled By: Attorney Corey Chirafisi

Summary: In a high-stakes pre-charge representation, the firm was hired to replace prior counsel after the client became uncomfortable with the direction of the investigation. The allegations involved the sexual assault of an unconscious person, a severe felony. Our team immediately intervened, securing relevant text message evidence that cast significant doubt on the complaining witness’s statements to police. Through persistent negotiations and advocacy with the District Attorney’s office over a two-month period, we successfully demonstrated that the evidence did not support a conviction. The State ultimately declined to file any charges, sparing the client from the stress and public record of a criminal prosecution. This is the second sex assault case in a row that Chirafisi Anderson, S.C. was able to avoid criminal charges being brought.
