Scottsdale Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

Sex crimes are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in Arizona. This is because sexual offenses are considered to be one of the most serious crimes a person can commit. If convicted, the penalties can consist of long prison sentences and fines. The effects can last for the rest of a person’s life, resulting in issues finding a job or finding a place to live. Anything having to do with a background check will be nearly impossible.

If you or a loved one has been charged with or you are being investigated for a sex crime, you need an experienced Scottsdale criminal defense attorney working by your side every step of the way. This is so you can effectively navigate the legal system and find a successful conclusion to your case. It is possible to have the charges reduced or the case totally dismissed, depending on the circumstances surrounding the case.

Experience Defending Against All Sex Crimes

There are many types of sexual offenses that a person can be accused of. They include:

  • Child pornography
  • Prostitution
  • Sexual assault
  • Indecent exposure
  • Sex abuse
  • Sexual exploitation of a minor
  • Sexual conduct with a minor
  • Child molestation

While there are many cases in which a person is rightfully charged with the crime, there are times when a person is not. Unfortunately, sex crime accusations are frequently used in child custody matters or when someone wishes to retaliate against another individual. If the accusations are found to be out of spite or retaliation, then the person who filed the charges may be punished for their actions.

Working To Achieve Positive Results

Your Scottsdale criminal defense lawyer will work hard for you to achieve the best results. When the sex crime is one that was committed against a child, then the penalties can become even harsher. The maximum prison sentence with aggravating factors present is up to 27 years. The maximum sentence is typically 20 years in prison and the minimum is 13 years.

The different types of sex crimes against children are defined as sexual conduct with a minor, molestation of a child, and sexual exploitation of a minor. Sexual exploitation encompasses a number of crimes, including child pornography. It is very important to have your attorney by your side every step of the way so that you can receive the best possible conclusion. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the case, it is possible for the case to never go to trial and for actions to be made in the case that give you the best possible future.
