In Orange County, even the most minor sex crime charge will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. The government, law enforcement, and prosecutors have done everything in their power to obtain convictions and serious penalties for those accused of sexual offenses. Sex crime accusations and charges may result in lengthy, ongoing investigations that violate a person’s privacy. Simply being charged with a sexual offense can subject a person to condemnation from his community, friends, peers, and even family.
In California, conviction of most sexual offenses requires that a person register as a sex offender on the state's public database for the rest of his life.
If you are suspected of a seuxal offense, it is important that you not talk about any incident with the person making the allegation or any of that person's friends or family members. When detectives suspect that a sex crime has occurred, they will conduct a surreptitious phone call, email or instant message session between you and your accuser. Such conversations will be recorded and used to incriminate you. Anything but the most aggressive denial of an accusation may be construed as an admission of guilt and result in your conviction. If you are suspected or accused of a sex crime you must speak with a qualified criminal defense attorney.
