“Sex crime” is an umbrella term for a wide range of sexual offenses. Our sex crimes defense attorneys will handle any case involving minors or adults, including:
- Criminal solicitation of a minor (under 17)
- Improper relationship between an educator and student
- Indecency with a child
- Sale, distribution, or display of harmful material to a minor
- Possession or promotion of child pornography
- Improper photography or visual recording
- Public lewdness
- Prostitution
- Sexual assault: This charge may be brought for any sexual activity without the “victim’s” consent, or in cases where and adult has had sex with a child under the age of consent (17)
- Aggravated sexual assault: If the sexual conduct caused serious bodily injury, was with a person under age 14 or elderly or disabled
From “Not Guilty” to Reduced Sentencing to Treatment
If you are not guilty, it is clear that you need a strong defense to keep your freedom but even if sexual activity did occur, a good sex crimes defense lawyer can have a big impact on the severity of a sentence. Your side of the story needs to be told so the judge and jury understand.
Factors that can affect the sex charge and sentence include:
- The age of the sex offender (juveniles can be charged with sex crimes)
- The age of the “victim” – even if the person willingly consented to sexual activity, if he/she was under 17 years of age, the person is considered a “victim” of a crime
- The relationship of the “victim” and the “perpetrator”
- The number of times there was sexual contact
- The extent of injuries the victim suffered, if any
Avoid Sex Offender Registration
Sex offender registration is a heavy burden and often applied unfairly. We do everything possible to help our clients avoid it. It is a life sentence; not only are the names posted on a public registry but “sex offenders” are barred from coming within 500 feet of any place where children are known to congregate, including public parks. This can make life extremely difficult.
