Serious Charges
A conviction for a sex crime can have devastating effects upon an individual. Beyond the inability to find a job or a place to live, the ongoing ostracizing that occurs can even prevent someone from seeking behavioral health assistance. Our firm represents clients charged with a wide range of criminal sexual behaviors including:
- Prostitution
- Rape
- Child molestation
- Pandering
- Internet pornography trafficking
- Sexual battery
- Indecent exposure
- Failure to register as a sex offender
Circumstances that Effect the Severity of Charges
In cases of statutory rape, the charge may be a felony or misdemeanor. This is determined in part by difference in age between the alleged perpetrator and victim. Even a consensual act with a minor can be viewed as a registerable sex offense. Our attorneys examine circumstances surrounding a sex crime charge thoroughly, and look for factors such as alcohol or drug addiction and psychological conditions which may influence outcomes.
If you have been charged with a sex crime such as statutory rape or failure to register as a sex offender, the best way to ensure that your rights will be protected and that your options remain open is to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
