Sex Offenses

Northern Kentucky Sex Crime Defense Lawyer

A conviction on a sex crime charge has serious consequences. In addition to a possible lengthy prison sentence, if convicted, an individual will be required to register as a sex offender. You will not be able to work in a job involving contact with children and you will not be able to live within 1,000 yards of a school or playground. The social stigma will follow you for the rest of your life.

With those consequences in mind, I aggressively defend defendants accused of felony and misdemeanor sex crimes. My goal in each case is to protect my client's rights, defend their reputation, and strongly advocate on their behalf.

Developing a Winning Defense Strategy

In all criminal cases, but especially so in sex crime charges, an alleged victim can make false accusations. For example, a divorce or child custody battle can lead to an accusation of a sex crime or domestic violence. A child can be coached wittingly or unwittingly by a parent, child welfare worker, or police investigator into making false claims.

Uncovering the true facts in such cases is essential. To accomplish this, I call upon experienced private investigators who are skilled at searching out the true facts from accusations and fading memories. Depending on the circumstances of the case, I may bring in computer forensic specialists, DNA experts, psychologists, or other professionals who can support your case or weaken the prosecution's case. Using their skills and my experience, I will work to build an effective defense strategy for you based on your specific circumstances.

Make no mistake — a sex crime charge can mean the fight of your life. I will work to build the strongest defense possible by investigating every possible defense, thoroughly examining the government’s evidence, researching the law, filing appropriate motions, and trying the case if necessary.
