Criminal law is a pendulum, and if the laws in one area are lax for a long time, things will change drastically once the public takes notice of a particular problem. In no area is that more evident than with underage sex crimes. With large child sex crime busts, many individuals are caught up in a giant net, as part of large federal investigations. At these times, it is easy for people to forget about your constitutional rights. You want an experienced attorney helping you build your sex crimes defense and making sure your rights are protected against the following allegations:
- Child porn
- Statutory rape
- Molestation
- Child Abuse
- Sexting
In many underage sex crimes cases, children are influenced into making false allegations. Sexually active minors may make false allegations to take attention off themselves, while small children are too often manipulated into making false allegations as a strong-arm tactic in family law disputes. You are not the only person potentially facing a false allegation.
Many people do not understand how sex crimes involving younger people work. By law, minors do not have the ability to consent. Even if someone is 16 , they cannot grant consent if there is more than five years of age difference. The law is complex, but we can answer your questions and help you understand your options for defense.
Child Pornography
You may believe that your actions were private and personal, but often times that is not the case. If a purveyor of child porn is being investigated, the authorities are going to find every single person that has every downloaded or traded information with that purveyor.
