Sex Crimes

Sex crimes are crimes committed against an individual of a sexual nature. Krizman Law provides defense for people charged with sex crimes.

Sex offense charges require relentless defense

The government puts its most tenacious prosecutors on cases involving allegations of sexual assault and rape. False accusations happen, and the evidence collected by police can be misleading or even manipulated. If you are accused of rape or another sex offense, you need a defense attorney who will critically examine the evidence, make sure the law is being fairly applied, and relentlessly drives for a just outcome.

A good attorney also will help you cope while the case plays out. A sexual assault allegation may mean you will be prohibited from contacting the alleged victim and potentially other individuals (minors and adults) who have nothing to do with the complaint. You may face other pretrial restrictions like GPS monitoring, high bonds, and intensive supervision.

If convicted, a defendant faces prison and must register as a sex offender, which will haunt them for years after serving their sentence. If you have been charged with a sex offense, it is important to contact an attorney immediately so that you can prepare the strongest defense.
