Anyone Accused of a Sex Crime Must Hire a Sexual Assault Attorney Immediately
|
Sexual assault is a broad term that can be used to describe a large number of criminal charges such as rape, molestation, aggravated sexual assault, and criminal sexual conduct among others. In general, sexual assault is defined as using real or threatened violence as a way to unwillingly force an individual to engage in sexual acts. Because of the seriousness of the charges, anyone accused of a sex crime must hire a sexual assault attorney immediately.
All sex crimes are serious offenses. If you are being investigated for sexual assault, it is very important to contact a sexual assault lawyer as soon as possible so that your innocence is protected. In the majority of cases, when our sexual assault attorneys have gotten involved during the prefile investigation stage, we have been able to prevent charges from ever being filed. Detectives and prosecutors do not take sexual assault accusations lightly and they will take every opportunity they get to trick you and twist your statements around so that you seem guilty. Being investigated for sexual assault is a frightening experience and you absolutely need a criminal defense lawyer by your side. After reading this page, please visit the pre-file investigation page for more information.
Without a knowledgeable sexual assault lawyer many people become victim to a detective’s aggressive and sometimes illegal interrogation methods. You have a right to an attorney, use it. Detectives are trained professionals and they will use their training to play mind games with you and intimidate you. A criminal lawyer will ensure that you are not taken advantage of.
It is not uncommon for someone to accuse an innocent person of a sexual assault crime out of hatred, jealousy or envy. Children are easily persuaded by adults to accuse others of such crimes. We know people use the criminal justice system as a way to get revenge on ex-spouses or relatives and therefore make false accusations. We also know people may willingly engage in sexual activity, but later feel guilt over their actions and decide to make false accusations of sexual assault. Our job is to defend you, not to judge you. Our sexual assault attorneys will look into the relationships surrounding the accused and the alleged victim and determine if there are any ulterior motives involved. We will apprise you of all your legal rights so that you are not taken advantage of by an overzealous detective or prosecutor.
We have a high success rate of preventing sexual assault charges from ever being filed; however, if charges have already been filed, a skilled sexual assault attorney can still do much to defend you. If evidence was obtained illegally, we will immediately file a motion to have that evidence suppressed. In the United States, we are protected by the fourth amendment from illegal searches and seizures and often police and detectives overlook this basic civil right due to personal biases toward the client, or as a means to advance a political agenda. We recognize this tragedy and do all we can to fight it.
Sexual assault is very common, especially toward females under the age of twenty-five. It is estimated that close to one in five women will be sexually violated in their lifetime. Because of this, women’s rights groups and other special advocacy programs have placed increased pressure on the District Attorney’s office and our elected judges to prosecute sexual assault cases to the fullest extent of the law, even when there is little evidence to do so. The reality is that sexual assault cases rely heavily on witness testimony that is often unreliable, inconsistent or flat out false. These cases are usually inundated with inconsistent and often conflicting testimonies. The line between consensual and non-consensual sex is very thin; however, the state tends to conceptualize sexual assault in a way that would seem otherwise.
