Possible Defense Strategies In Sex Crime Cases 

Like any other criminal offense, a strong defense strategy is a must when facing sex offense charges. As your lawyer, we will work through all possible defenses, which may include: 

• Demonstrating that the sexual activity was consensual between adults. 

• Proving that the allegations are fabricated or mistaken. 

• Challenging the prosecution’s case due to a lack of evidence. 

• Showing you were misidentified as the perpetrator. 

• Providing evidence that you were elsewhere when the alleged crime happened. 

• Arguing that you were not mentally capable of committing the alleged crime. 

Your case may require a completely different approach or a combination of strategies. Our attorney will dive into the details of your situation and craft a strategy that gives you the best chances.
