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.

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.

against you. If negotiation is appropriate, he will negotiate with prosecutors
and judges to get the best agreement possible for you. At all times, he
will act as your advocate and ensure that your rights are fully protected.
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.
