The Stakes Are High
Sex offenses involve serious penalties, potentially including decades in prison, hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and the requirement to register as a sex offender. Besides the criminal penalties, being found guilty of a sex crime can ruin your friendships, eliminate your parenting rights, and make it nearly impossible to find a job.
The Law is Difficult
Successfully defending against sex crime charges requires an advanced understanding of California criminal law and a willingness to gain a complete understanding of the case. Most public defenders won't take the time to understand the nuances of your situation and build a viable criminal defense strategy. Instead, they may take the easy way out and advise you to plead guilty, which could forever alter your life.

Charged with a Sex Crime? You Still Have Rights
Facing criminal charges can be terrifying and overwhelming, and it doesn't help that the laws pertaining to sex crime cases can be confusing. Even if you are arrested, remember that you are innocent until proven guilty and that you still have rights. If you are under investigation for a sex crime in California, here are some of the things you can do to prevent incriminating yourself and ensure the best possible outcome in your case:
1. Remain Silent
Under federal law, you have the right to remain silent after your arrest or when you are being questioned by police. To avoid incriminating yourself, you should not answer any questions before you speak to an attorney. Remember that the person interrogating you is trying to build a case against you, and anything you say can be used against you in court.
2. Contact Our California Sex Crimes Lawyers
Federal law also gives you the right to hire your own attorney. Our lawyers can help you understand your rights, navigate the legal process, fight for your best interests, and ensure the best possible outcome for your sex crime case. Our criminal defense attorneys are available at all hours of the day and on weekends.
3. Gather Evidence
If you were wrongfully convicted of a sex crime, you need to gather evidence and records that could be used to prove your innocence. This could include receipts from stores that you visited, interactions that you had with friends, and other events that took place at the same time as the alleged incident. Even if you are worried that certain evidence could be incriminating, do not erase or attempt to hide anything. If you do this, you could be accused of tampering with evidence and appear guilty, even if you are not.
4. Only Follow Court Orders
You only need to submit to searches or tests that are court-ordered. If anyone asks for access to your technology or asks for any other evidence from you without a court order, do not comply unless one of our sex crimes lawyers says it's okay.
5. Don't Interact with Others Involved
Besides your sex crimes attorney, don't talk to anyone about your case. Any conversations that you have can be reported to law enforcement or used against you in court. If the alleged victim or any family members call you, do not answer.
A Sex Crime Conviction Can Lead to Serious Consequences
Being convicted of a sex crime can have severe consequences, including fines, prison time, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Hiring a lawyer is the best way to protect your rights and avoid serious ramifications that accompany a conviction, such as:

Losing Your Rights
If you are convicted of a felony, you may lose some of your constitutional rights. Convicted felons who are in prison are not allowed to vote. They also face restrictions regarding the possession, use, or carrying of firearms. A felony on your record can also affect your employment and housing opportunities.

Losing Your Reputation
If you are convicted of a sex crime, you may be required to register as a sex offender. The California Sex Offender Registry is a database of sex offenders living in California, and it is viewable by the public. Being a registered sex offender can not only be shameful; it can also prevent you from living in certain areas or from living a normal life.
Sex Crimes FAQ
Is "sexting" a crime?
Sexting (sending or receiving sexually explicit messages) between two consenting adults is not illegal. However, sexting between adults and minors is illegal, and those accused of sexting minors can face criminal charges.
Can I get my criminal record expunged?
It depends on the details of the crime and other conditions. If you have a sex crime conviction on your record, reach out to Law House to discuss whether we can help you get it expunged.
Why should I work with a private attorney when a public defender's services are free?
If you are facing criminal charges, you have a lot at stake. Public defenders often have large caseloads, so they might not have the time to dedicate to your case and ensure you reach the best possible outcome. Meanwhile, a private attorney is 100 percent dedicated to you and your case. At Law House, we will never encourage you to take a plea deal unless we believe it is the best possible outcome for your case. We will fight for you as long as necessary to achieve the best results and help you avoid fines, jail time, loss of custody, and other ramifications.
