There Is No Such Thing as an Insignificant Sex Abuse Charge

Don’t expect the fact that you are “innocent” or even “cooperating” with the police to keep you out of jail, or off the sex offender registry. At least, not without an experienced defense attorney.

Most sex crimes are subject to sex offender registration—a Draconian consequence that will follow you around for the rest of your life. Even a less serious charge, such as prostitution, can cause consequences ranging from profound embarrassment to divorce.

“I had managed to get myself in some pretty serious trouble, and [Jim Crawford] seemed like the best choice. The disposition of the case was really much better than I or my family could have reasonably expected. I did everything that he asked me to do, and I let him do his job.”

– A former client

Why Remaining Silent Makes Sense

The term “sex crime” covers a surprisingly broad range of criminal charges. If you are accused of a sex crime, do not talk to the police. No police, no matter how friendly they may seem. Often, people are convicted themselves under manipulation by police and court officials. Law enforcement officials will attempt to get you into the police station, isolate you, scare you, and get you either to confess or to provide incriminating information.

We can help with such sex crime matters as:

Any sex abuse prosecution or conviction can be devastating. It could include state or federal prison, and or lifetime registration as a sex offender. We truly empathize and understand the stress and fear that occurs when you find yourself in this situation. Now is the time to think clearly and obtain counsel before speaking with a detective or agent.

Overcoming False Allegations

Sex abuse allegations have immense power to disrupt and devastate your life. This gives a motivated person plenty of reason to manufacture a charge against you. Still, even when you are completely innocent of a charge, you cannot hesitate to take every available step to defend yourself.

Building a Strong Sex Abuse Defense

Aside from proving that the allegations against you are false, there are many possible defenses against such crimes. However, the correct defense for you will take into account the relevant facts of the case. We can review:

The evidence against you
The prosecution’s strategy
Your alibi
The witness statements

Once done, we can craft a legal strategy to protect your rights. We know this is a difficult moment, but we promise to fight for your rights.

Issues to Think About and Plan if You Find Yourself in This Position

I’m sure you understand the importance of mitigating risks and protecting your reputation. When it comes to sex abuse charges, there’s no room for complacency. No matter how “insignificant” a charge may seem, the potential consequences can be devastating, impacting your career, personal life, and future opportunities. That’s why, if you ever find yourself facing such allegations, the first and most crucial step you can take is to seek experienced legal counsel. That’s where JC Law comes in.

Don’t make the mistake of believing that your innocence or cooperation with the police will be enough to protect you. Without an experienced defense attorney, you could find yourself facing severe penalties and a permanent stain on your record. Law enforcement officials are skilled at extracting information, and even seemingly harmless statements can be twisted and used against you. It’s imperative to remain silent and seek legal guidance before speaking with detectives or agents.
