Sex Crime Charges We Defend
Texas prosecutors pursue sex crime cases aggressively, and even an arrest before conviction can upend your life. Our firm defends clients against a full range of allegations, including:
- Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child
- Sexual assault
- Aggravated sexual assault
- Indecency with a child
- Indecent exposure
- Possession or distribution of prohibited material, including child pornography
- Prostitution and solicitation offenses
Resolving False Allegations of Sex Crimes
False accusations of sexual offenses are common and frequently arise from custody disputes, personal conflicts, or misunderstandings. These cases demand careful investigation into the accuser’s motives and any available digital or physical evidence that contradicts the claims. A thorough, methodical approach to dismantling a false allegation can mean the difference between a dismissal and a life-altering conviction. Every case is different. Our job is to test the State’s evidence at every stage and expose reasonable doubt wherever it exists.
Potential Penalties for Sex Crime Convictions
The consequences of a sex crime conviction in Texas extend far beyond a prison sentence. The penalties can be severe and long-lasting. In addition to incarceration, a conviction may result in:
- Mandatory sex offender registration (in some cases for life)
- Significant restrictions on where you can live and work
- Limitation on contact with children or family members
- Long-term damage to personal and professional reputation
- Heavy fines and court-ordered treatment programs
Because the consequences extend far beyond the courtroom, these cases must be handled with care and urgency.
