All to often people find themselves charged with sex crimes based on false accusations from bitter, jealous, mistaken or manipulated accusers. Many sex crime allegations are actually entirely false, invented for purposes such as revenge, anger, jealousy, or in an attempt to gain custody of children in a divorce.

An accusation, investigation, arrest or criminal charge involving any type of sex crime is extremely serious. Particularly when a sex offense involves violence or a child, a defendant may face a number of harsh penalties, which place your liberty and freedom at stake. Whether your charges consist of the possession of child pornography or child molestation, the legal team at the firm is ready to defend your rights and aggressively pursue your freedom. Facing criminal charges related to a crime of sex can be one of the most destructive offenses. After an arrest takes place, friends and coworkers will begin to question what types of charges the defendant is facing. If they find out that charges related to sexual battery, rape, date rape or statutory rape are the ones that their friend has been accused of, they will begin to question their friendship. An employer may wish to terminate employment for an individual if they find out that they are facing sex crime charges for fear of a future incident, even if the person has not yet been convicted. As such, any person that is facing charges for any sex-related crime is strongly advised to talk to an attorney.

 

There are few things in our society that carry such a badge of shame as being charged with a sex crime. The only thing worse is being convicted of a sex crime.

 

A sex crime conviction almost always results in having to register as a sex offender every year for the rest of your life.

 

Your ability to work and live in most decent neighborhoods will be just about over. It gets worse from there. Most felony sex crimes carry very long prison sentences, and some of them carry life sentences. And what is worse than all of this, is that if you plead guilty or a jury convicts you of a sex crime and you are sentenced to prison, you will be an outcast in prison, a target for other inmates. That is the very scary truth.
