Pittsburgh Sex Crime Attorney
Sex Crimes Charges and Penalties
Sex crimes cases can be difficult for all involved. For the person charged
with the crime, even if you are acquitted, the negative association can
stick with you unless you follow the process of
expungement to have it erased from your record. For the prosecution, sex crimes are
often cases of "he said/she said" where one says he did and
one says he didn't. It can be difficult to prove guilt when there
is no physical evidence. The same can be said for the defense. Even when
the accused is not guilty, if the accuser is more convincing, you could
be convicted. If you or someone close to you has been charged with a sex
crime, do not hesitate to get a seasoned
Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney to represent you. Our firm has been representing people for years in all
types of criminal defense cases. We have a proven record of producing
results for our clients.
The penalties for sex crime convictions can vary greatly depending on the
individual circumstances of the case. The penalties for rape will be harsher
than those for indecent exposure. One thing is certain: you will be required
to register as a sex offender in cases of a violent sex offense or attempted violence.
