Our Sex Crime Attorneys Defend Against Accusations Of Sexual Misconduct

Simply being accused of a sex crime can damage your reputation and future. Our attorneys provide aggressive defense every step of the way to protect your constitutional rights and preserve your future. We help clients who have been accused of:

Out of every category of crime, offenses of a sexual nature can carry some of the heaviest and longest-lasting penalties. The state of Florida takes these charges very seriously, and prosecutors dedicate themselves to reaching convictions. If you are convicted, you could face lengthy imprisonment, large fines, mandatory community service and counseling, and a permanent criminal record.

The Florida Sex Offender Registry

Any felony conviction for a sex crime will most likely require long-term registration with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) as a sex offender or a sexual predator. The sex offender database is a public search tool, that anyone can use. This means that even after you have served your sentence, paid your fines and have been released from parole, your criminal history will still have an impact on your future. As a registered sex offender, you could be limited in where you can live and work. It will continue to affect your reputation in the community.

What To Do If You Are Being Investigated For A Sex Crime

If you are being investigated for a sex crime, the first thing you should do is contact a reputable criminal defense attorney with the experience to be able to handle a potentially high-profile case. It is critically important that you do not contact the alleged victim or discuss anything with the police. It is human nature to want to clear up what you might think is a misunderstanding or prove that you are innocent on your own. Because anything that you do or say can later be used against you, it is important to get a seasoned attorney’s advice before you do or say anything.

Potential Defenses Against Sex Crime Charges

Just because you have been accused of sex crime, does not mean that you are guilty of committing a sex crime. There are several possible defenses that can be argued on your behalf, including mistaken identity, victim consent and false accusations. At Bauer, Crider, Kindel and Parry, our criminal defense attorneys have defended thousands of clients in criminal matters since our firm was founded in 1989. We conduct our own investigations and prepare a strategic and thorough defense on behalf of our clients.
