SEX CRIMES

In Florida, sex crimes carry severe penalties that last a lifetime. Sex crimes are some of the most serious crimes a person can be charged with. Depending on the facts of the case, these crimes can be highly defendable. If you have been charged with a sex crime, do not speak to law enforcement and contact an experienced attorney right away.

Types of Sex Crimes

1. Sexual Battery (aka "rape" or "sexual assault")

2. Prostitution

3. Indecent Exposure and Lascivious Acts

4. Voyeurism

5. Lewd and Lascivious Acts

6. Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

About Sex Crimes

Sex crimes are different from other serious felonies and prosecutors face significant challenges in proving these crimes. The alleged victim may not be cooperative or a reliable and trustworthy witness. The alleged victim may have been coached into providing untruthful testimony. Evidence may have been obtained illegally or it may be scientifically deficient. There may be defenses, such as entrapment (either subjective or objective). 

The penalties associated with sex crimes are tremendously serious. If you have been charged with a sex crime, you should hire an attorney that understands the issues involved in sex crimes. Whether your case involves victim related issues, issues with how evidence was gathered and analyzed, the "junk" science used by prosecutors, child hearsay, an entrapment defense, or rape trauma syndrome, our firm will work with you to identify any issues with your case and prepare a defense strategy for a way forward.
