Sex Crimes

Few allegations instantly inflict more damage than the mere accusation of a sexual crime. The public immediately presumes overwhelming guilt. Serious charges can be made by anyone regardless of physical evidence and are too often pursued by overzealous prosecutors. Worse, many defense attorneys are often reluctant to aggressively defend against sexual charges for fear of damaging their reputation in the community.

Defending Yourself

A sexual charge must be aggressively defended. There generally are no acceptable plea agreements that come with sexually-based crimes, even for minor offenses. A felony sex crime conviction will result in a lengthy prison together with sex offender treatment, followed by lifetime registration as a sex offender. Even most misdemeanor sex-related convictions require sex-offender registration.

Additionally, convicted sex offenders must complete sexual offender treatment programs to complete their sentence. Without successful completion, an inmate can lose good time credit, and potentially face another trial, this time for civil commitment. A civil commitment is an indefinite commitment.

Preparation, diligence, and expertise in this area are key to winning. Acquittals or dismissals take a tremendous amount of work. A good defense is expensive, but nothing near the value of freedom.
