Federal Sex Crimes / Possession of Child Pornography

Sex Crimes

Sex crimes can vary from rape and sexual assault to prostitution and sex trafficking. In addition to facing time in prison, someone convicted of a sex offense may be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his or her life. Even being accused and arrested of a sex crime can be devastating for you and your family. The United States Attorney’s Office is currently working hard to make the punishments in sex crimes a lot more severe. Our office has successfully defended men and women charged with a sex crime and we understand the sensitive nature of these types cases.

Sex Crimes Against Children

With the expansion of the internet and technology, sex crimes and child pornography arrests are growing. Similar to the U.S. Department of Justice’s “war on drugs” campaign, federal prosecutors are making sex crimes, especially crimes against children, a top priority. The U.S. Attorney General has enacted the P.R.O.T.E.C.T. Act, which stands for Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today, and carries harsh penalties for those convicted of sex crimes against children, including possession of child pornography. Successfully defending a sex crime involving children requires a skillful, creative and dedicated lawyer who knows the law and is willing to fight for his client. If you or someone you know has been accused of inappropriate behavior with a child, contact our office immediately so that we can begin defending your case.
