Have You Been Charged with a Sex Offense?

Sex crime charges can be embarrassing, degrading, and devastating to a person's personal and professional reputation. Worse, because of the nature of sex crimes, the charges can be brought up against anyone including those such as public officials, law enforcement and medical staff, school teachers, lovers, parents, spouses, celebrities, etc. The legal penalties for sex crimes such as lewd conduct, indecent exposure, sexual assault, rape, human trafficking, prostitution and solicitation are harsh, and coupled with the emotional effects of being accused of such a crime, it can be a terrible burden to bear for the accused.

Not all sex crimes are committed intentionally or with malicious intent. In some cases what seems to be a sex crime may be a misunderstanding or miscommunication between spouses or lovers. Sometimes regret or guilt can cause one person to change their mind in the middle of an intimate act but without effective communication between both parties what was once consensual and intimate can become ugly and embarrassing and result in sex crime allegations.

There are many sex crimes that actually occur, but some sex crime accusations arise out of jealousy, revenge or pure malice and are intended to embarrass or hurt an innocent individual. Sexually inappropriate conduct may even arise from misleading information such as a minor lying about his/her age, resulting in the adult party being accused of molestation. The legal penalties for sex crimes such as lewd conduct, indecent exposure, sexual assault, rape, prostitution and solicitation are harsh, and coupled with the emotional effects of being accused of such a crime, it is a terrible burden to bear.
