SEX CRIMES
You have been accused of a sex crime - an allegation that is devastating to you, your family, and your future. Frequently, an individual charged with a sex crime has no prior criminal record, and is being exposed to the criminal justice system for the first time. They are not "criminals" in the classic sense, but are often respected members of the community - parents, teachers, business owners, day care providers, and medical professionals. Even the Department of Justice confirms that sex crime allegations are one of the most commonly made false accusations against an innocent person.
Regardless of the exact allegation - child molestation, date rape, improper touching at work or school, or internet pornography - citizens charged with sex offenses face an overwhelming list of issues: mandatory prison; registration as a sex offender; Megan’s law; temporary or even permanent loss of your children; the loss of your job; shunned by the community; and the feeling that the system presumes you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent.
These are very difficult cases. Proving your innocence is often very difficult, or even impossible: very often these cases are built on the word of a single person - a jilted girlfriend, a bitter ex-spouse, a disgruntled employee, or a confused, over-coached child - with no other significant witnesses. People assume that the complainant would never say this happened if it wasn't true, or that children don’t lie, and any physical or medical evidence is always interpreted to support the complainant's story.
Therefore hiring a qualified defense attorney is critical.
