Sex Crimes

West Covina/Beverly Hills California Sex Crimes Lawyer

Sex crimes against children or defenseless young women or anyone who is apparently vulnerable are especially repulsive to the public. A prosecutor may be eager to name a suspect in order to prosecute a rape or child molestation case. The person who is accused is in dire need of an experienced, zealous defense attorney.

Allegations of sex crimes may come about suddenly when a forcible rape is reported, or over a period of time when someone in the family suspects that child sexual abuse is taking place.

Whether or Not Sexual Contact Took Place, All Avenues of Defense Need to Be Explored

Sex crimes stand out among crimes in general because there is often no witness to the alleged sexual misconduct.

  • Was There Consent?
  • Was the Witness Not Credible?

If there is forensic evidence such as DNA matter present on the body or clothing of the alleged victim, there may be questions of consent. Did the alleged victim consent to sexual contact and report it as assault?

  • Is there No DNA Evidence?
  • Do You Contend that, "I Wasn't There?"

If there is no forensic evidence of sexual contact, the case may be a "he said / she said" situation. The credibility of the witness can and should be questioned as a first line of defense for the accused.

We are available and prepared to fight for your freedom and your future if you have been charged with a sex crime.
