Sexual Assault / Rape & Title IX
As the most serious Title IX violation, sexual assault and rape are life-altering accusations. Even allegations alone, as well as how you respond to allegations, can influence the trajectory of a case and public opinion. That’s because these crimes are classified as violent in nature, and because tremendous outspokenness on sexual misconduct and rape on campus place great strain on administrators and law enforcement to quickly and appropriately handle these claims.
Whether brought by a student against another, a romantic partner, or an instructor or faculty member, sexual assault and rape allegations will always be handled carefully. Under Title IX, school officials will begin investigations after a complaint is made to the school, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR), or other administrative agencies. To constitute a sexual violence violation, complaints may involve a range of misconduct and sexual contact, such as:
- Physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will
- Violations of lack of consent policies
- Date rape
- Sexual acts committed against an individual who was too intoxicated or impaired to give their consent
Under Title IX, alleged victims who bring complaints to school officials or through other administrative channels has discretion on whether they wish to involve the police. Should a criminal investigation open in connection to sexual assault, legal representation becomes vital. In addition to defending the rights and futures of clients during the Title IX disciplinary process and hearings, our attorneys also have the experience to represent clients facing serious sex crime allegations, which can pose lengthy terms of imprisonment.

What Should I Do If I’VE BEEN ARRESTED?
-
1. Don’t Talk to the Police!
It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.
It’s important to note that:
- Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
- By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
- Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.

- C.V.Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino. To be honest, going into this case I was lost in all the steps and confused on what to do. With the help from you, Ashley, and Tyler, I can say I felt relief that I had wonderful lawyers to help me through this incident. In the past 9 or 10 years, I had always tried to figure things out myself. Going into this issue, I was discouraged on my ability to avoid the harsh punishment of one bad decision I had made on the day of my arrest. You and your team gave me the hope and belief that I needed. So I just wanted to give you my thanks. If ever I have anyone who needs a lawyer I will most definitely recommend you and your firm.
