Newport Beach Sex Crime Defense Lawyer

Criminal Defense Attorney for Sex Crimes

Of all criminal charges, sex crimes are among the most despised by the public. Few criminal charges carry a worse social stigma than those of sex offenses. Even a mere accusation of a sex crime can adversely affect your employment, your personal relationships, and your future. Often, those accused of sex crimes are presumed guilty by society before they are tried. That makes sex crime allegations one of the most frightening and stressful experiences for the accused and his or her family.

If you or someone you know has been accused of a sex offense in Newport Beach, Irvine, Huntington Beach, or anywhere in Orange County, California, it is imperative that you seek professional legal help from a Newport Beach criminal defense attorney.

If negotiation is appropriate, he will negotiate with prosecutors and judges to get the best agreement possible for you.

Sex Crimes

Sex crimes are criminal behaviors or actions relating to sex, such as rape, indecent exposure, child molestation, sexual battery, date rape, statutory rape, lewd conduct, sexual abuse, and possession or distribution of child pornography. These crimes are aggressively prosecuted in California. Penalties include imprisonment, heavy fines, probation, community service, court-ordered counseling, restitution, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Having to register as a sex offender alone will create a negative impact on the life of anyone convicted of a sex crime because the information may be accessed by the public, including one's neighbors, potential employers, landlords, and others.
