Protecting Your Rights Against Sex Crime Charges
More often than not, people charged with sex crimes are most concerned with friends and family finding out and how the charges will affect their reputation. In addition to these concerns, you also face sever penalties in the event of a conviction.
At the Law Office of Steven L. Newton, I work to protect my client's rights and interests against sex charges. I am a former prosecutor, which provides me with insights into how your sex crime case will likely be argued and developed. I can use these insights to help formulate an effective and aggressive defense strategy.
Escorts and Prostitutes
A sex solicitation — or paying for sex — charge can prove particularly embarrassing. While sex solicitation is a misdemeanor charge, it can be enhanced. Meaning that if this is not your first prostitution charge, you could face harsher penalties. In these circumstances, it is especially important to work an experienced attorney. Contact my office today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
Rape Charges
If convicted of rape, your entire life could be destroyed. It is very likely that you will do some prison time. A rape conviction means you would have to register as a sex offender. Being a registered sex offender affects where you can live and the type of job you can hold. If you are a parent charged with rape, you could lose your right to child custody and visitation.
I Can Help You
Your sex crime case will most likely go to trial. Prosecutors rarely negotiate rape charges. My objective approach can help you feel more confident about your situation. Being charged with rape and its harsh, life-altering consequences can be scary. I can help reduce your fear and make you feel better prepared for trial.
As a former prosecutor, I can review your case from every angle. I can investigate your charges to determine the facts of the case. If the police behaved improperly, I can try to get your charges reduced.
