Miami Sex Crime Attorneys

Have you been charged with a sex offense?

Sexual offenses are those criminal acts related to forced, unwanted or deviant sex acts, as prohibited by state or federal law. Due in part to harsh sex offender registration requirements, there is an extreme social stigma associated with sex crimes throughout the United States. Particularly after a conviction for a serious sex crime, such as a crime against a child, an offender will be labeled a sex offender and required to register for the rest of his or her life. This may lead to social ostracism as well as difficulty finding employment or limited housing and financial opportunities. In fact, it’s easy to perform an internet search to find registered sex offenders in the area in which one lives, and as such as sex offender is at even greater risk of alienation by neighbors and the community as a whole.

If you or someone you know has been arrested for a sex offense, it is important that you consider consulting an attorney as soon as possible. With proper representation by a skilled criminal defense lawyer, you may be able to avoid serious penalties or perhaps a conviction altogether, depending on the particular circumstances.

False Accusations of Sex Crimes

It is an unfortunate truth that not all sex crime accusations are based on fact. False sexual offense allegations may be made for reasons of jealousy, revenge, anger, or even a misunderstanding. By conducting a complete investigation, review of police reports and evidence, and by interviewing all applicable witnesses, a law firm can work to build a compelling case on a defendant’s behalf. After all, the prosecution must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the defendant committed the crime. If even a small question can be raised in the jury’s mind, this may be enough to secure an acquittal.
