- Gross sexual imposition: This involves nonconsensual sexual contact or penetration.
- Sexual assault: This can include rape, attempted rape or other forms of forced sexual activity.
- Prostitution and solicitation: These involve engaging in or promoting sexual activity in exchange for payment or other forms of compensation.
- Indecent exposure: This involves intentionally exposing one’s genitalia or engaging in other forms of lewd behavior in public.
The consequences of sex crimes can be severe and long-lasting. These include imprisonment, fines and registration as a sex offender.
How Goetz Fischer LLP Can Assist You
Our skilled criminal defense lawyers will work with you to understand the facts of your case, identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument and develop a plan to address them. Common defenses to sex crimes include:
- Consent, which can be a valid defense in cases where the alleged victim gave their consent to the sexual activity
- Lack of evidence, which can be used to challenge the prosecution’s case and create reasonable doubt
- False accusations, which can be used to challenge the credibility of the alleged victim or other witnesses of the prosecution
We take the time to explain the legal process and what to expect. We will also listen to your concerns, get an accurate picture of the charge against you and create a tailored defense approach.
