Sex Crimes
Florida Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer
An allegation of a sex crime can have serious and lasting consequences even if you are never charged with a crime or even cleared of all charges. In the court of public opinion, those suspected of committing sex crimes are sometimes unfortunately considered guilty until proven innocent.
People who are charged and convicted of sex crimes face extremely stiff penalties, including long periods of incarceration, stiff fines and the requirement to register as a sex offender for years and sometimes indefinitely. Registered sex offenders often find it difficult if not impossible to find a job and a place to live.
J. Christopher Klotz: An Attorney Who Will Fight for You
There are documented instances of government overreaching because of political motivation in sex cases. Courts throughout the country often disagree about what is offensive content and what is not. Instances of violation in some cases are based on personal opinion and personal prejudices of the prosecuting attorney. Whether you get charges for a crime may vary from one prosecutor to another based on their personal degree of offense at the sexual act or content. These are often unpopular cases to defend because of community pressure. In our opinion, sex crimes are the cases in which there is the greatest opportunity, pressure and potential for fabrication of evidence or testimony.
