Sex Offense Accusations
|
Being accused of a sex related crime can have tremendous impact on your life, regardless of if you are guilty or innocent. More than any other category of crime, persons accused of a sex offense are treated as guilty from the day the charges are issued. The accusations are normally highly subjective. The victim’s perception, witness observations, and even forensic evidence can be interpreted in different ways. It is very important to have a lawyer on your side who knows the law well and has experience defending these kinds of charges, as a guilty verdict will alter your life in almost every possible way.
