Sex Crimes

Introduction

There are very strict laws (and provisions for penalties) in place regarding sexually based criminal offenses. This is invariably the case when the alleged sex crime is perpetrated against a minor child. Media attention is sure to result from any sex crime charge, especially when the accused is an elected official, athlete, prominent businessman, or any other public figure. Given the overly aggressive attempts at a successful prosection by your local law enforcement personnel, and the task of winning a dismissal or conviction may seem impossible.

If you are facing charges of a sex crime, it is absolutely vital that you retain the highest quality, most assertive and aggressive criminal defense attorney possible. And time will be of the essence. The lawyers at Zaire & Wade boast a well-earned reputation for competence, dedication, and zealousness within the legal community. We are prepared to analyze the fact pattern of your case and put our knowledge and resources to work for you.

But you need qualified and competent counsel to assist in presenting your story. The prosecutor in your case will be well-prepared with physical evidence and witnesses. You must be similarly ready for battle. And the only way to do so is with the representation of an experienced trial lawyer.

An arrest is merely that. It's an arrest, not a conviction. Hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals are wrongfully arrested and charged with sex crimes every year all over the world. We want to fight for your exoneration so you may restart your life.

You must hire a lawyer as early in the process as possible. hat the firm gets involved early in your case.

The penalties for a conviction will be dire. For example, charges for human trafficking that result in a guilty verdict can be punished by a maximum of 30 years in federal prison.

Many sex crimes are charged in federal court, including just about any allegation stemming from receipt or distribution of obscene material through the United States Postal Service.

Sex offense accusations can be highly complex, as a certain bias against the defendant, who will automatically viewed by jurors as heinous, is almost a given.
