Including criminal allegations of:
- Indecent exposure
- Child pornography

- Prostitution
- Sexual battery

Strategies for Challenging Evidence in Your Sex Crime Case
In an effort to protect minors and other potential innocent victims from sexual predators and assailants, society has enacted laws that can present challenges for defense lawyers. For example, a consensual act between a 24-year-old boyfriend and his 17-year-old girlfriend may result in legal penalties similar to those of a rape in a dark alley by a stranger. No matter the complications involved in your case, however, we are confident that we can guard your every right in court.
Key Defense Tactics for Sex Crime Allegations:
- Credibility of the accusing witness
- DNA evidence
- Issues of identification
- Consent
- Computer forensics to determine reliability of purported evidence
- Entrapment (e.g. when police pose as minors in Internet chat rooms)
If you have been charged with sex crimes or are under a criminal investigation for such crimes in Ponte Vedra, St. Johns, or the surrounding areas, we strongly urge you to contact our defense firm to arrange your initial consultation.
