• Sexual assault: Sexual conduct that results from violence or threatened violence that incites fear or coercion
• Statutory rape: Sexual act with a child under the age of 18, a person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or a person who is developmentally disabled, whether consensual or nonconsensual
• “Date rape”: Rape while you were engaged in a social engagement with the victim
• Spousal rape: The act of forcing a spouse to have sex without consent
• Stalking and harassment: Repeated behavior with the intent to frighten, annoy, intimidate, or overcome the rejection of another person
• Prostitution: Engaging in sexual acts for the exchange of money or valuables, including drugs

Experienced Defense in Any Sex Offense Case

Being charged with a sex offense is an emotional event. Don’t give up. Remember, the state has the burden to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Often, a sex charge lacks sufficient evidence to corroborate the story of the victim. Because of a lack of evidence and eyewitness statements, the case may come down to a “he said/she said” scenario. There may be issues of consent or mistaken identity. I have successfully defended many people charged with unsubstantiated criminal charges.
