An accusation of a sexual offense is uniquely destructive. Perhaps more than any other offense, the mere allegation brings a social stigma and a “guilty unless proven innocent” mindset among the public. Even false complaints have resulted embarrassment, paralyzing fear, and broken homes.

The state treats these cases very seriously, and the possibility of prison and registering as a sexual offender hang in the balance of how a case is handled. We are fully aware of the stakes involved whenever there is an allegation of sexual misconduct, and devote all of our resources to both prevent the consequences that would result in a conviction, but also to restore your reputation. We regularly handle the following sex offenses:

• Rape
• Soliciting
• Loitering to engage in prostitution
• Pandering Obscenity involving a minor
• Gross sexual imposition
• Sexual imposition
• Importuning
• Public Indecency
• Voyeurism
• Unlawful Sexual Conduct with a minor

There are many different sexually based crimes, and as a result, the most effective strategy to fight the accusation varies based on the offense charged and the specific facts of the allegation. A dynamic defense is typically called for, and often representation of these cases calls for our knowledge of complex matters which many lawyers may not understand, including:

• Autosomal and Y-STR DNA Analysis
• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
• Digital Forensics
• Polygraph Analysis

Other times, the case may call for a more traditional approach, including witness interviews which demonstrate bias, hiring an investigator to look into social media posts of the accuser, or occasionally sitting down with the investigator to prevent a case from being charged in the first place because we can demonstrate actual innocence.

We have the experience to know what defense a case calls for, and the knowledge to analyze the state’s forensic evidence to see if it is nothing more than junk science. Contact us to see how we would address the issues in your case.
