SEXUAL OFFENSES / CRIMINAL DEFENSE OF SEX CRIMES
Sexual Offenses
Sex crimes are among the most vigorously prosecuted crimes in the United States. Prosecutors face great pressure to secure guilty verdicts in cases involving sex crimes, and unfortunately, those who are accused are often assumed guilty before the evidence is even presented. Because the consequences of a sex crime conviction are so severe, individuals facing these charges should always seek the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Please contact Imhoff & Associates today for a FREE, no-obligation consultation with a proven criminal defense attorney who can answer your questions, offer solid legal advice, and ensure your legal interests are maximized.
What Constitutes a Sex Crime?
Sex crimes are, as the term suggests, crimes that are sexual and often times non-consensual in nature. Some of the more commonly prosecuted sex crimes include:
- Rape, including acquaintance rape and date rape
- Sexual assault and/or abuse
- Statutory rape, or sex with a minor
- Molestation
- Internet Sex Crimes
- Solicitation
- Sexual harassment
- Trafficking in child pornography
- Pimping, pandering, and/or prostitution
- Indecent exposure
- Lewd and lascivious conduct
- More
Individuals who are charged with any of these or similar crimes generally face a number of harsh penalties including imprisonment, heavy fines, monetary restitution to the victim, mandatory rehabilitation, and sex offender registration to name only a few. Sometimes even worse than the legal penalties associated with a sex crime conviction are the social and personal consequences, which often involve difficulty obtaining employment, finding a place to live, and more.
