Knowledgeable Sex Crime Defense


As with any type of criminal charges, sexual assault charges in Florida should not be taken lightly. Aside from the penalties and fines associated with criminal charges in general, sexual assault charges in Florida also carry long-term consequences such as being listed as a registered sex offender. Convictions for sex crimes do not end with the actual sentence; there can be lifelong registration requirements as a sexual offender or as a predator

Sexual assault, also known as rape, sexual abuse, and sexual battery is defined by the Florida Statutes as “oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object,” without consent. The most common form of sexual assault charge in Florida is when you are accused of forcing someone into a sexual act against his or her will.

But there are many other crimes involving sexual intent or actions. Sexual crimes against minors, lewd or lascivious acts, video voyeurism, child pornography, incest, and indecent exposure are all crimes that Florida prosecutes very seriously and that we defend zealously.

For instance, the age of the alleged victim may result in devastating criminal charges. Accusations of sexual crimes are extremely detrimental to you and your family. Fortunately, our attorneys have effectively handled these kinds of crimes. Depending on the nature of the act, your age, the age of the victim, and your relationship to the victim, the criminal charges and penalties you face can vary greatly. After reviewing your situation, your attorney will help you fight these charges in court.
