There Is No Such Thing As An Insignificant Sex Crime Charge
Don’t expect the fact that you are “innocent” or even “cooperating” with the police to keep you out of jail – or off the sex offender registry. At least, not without an experienced defense attorney.
Most sex crimes are subject to sex offender registration – a Draconian consequence that will follow you around for the rest of your life. Even a less serious charge such as prostitution can cause consequences ranging from profound embarrassment to divorce.
“I had managed to get myself in some pretty serious trouble, and [Jim Crawford] seemed like the best choice. The disposition of the case was really much better than I or my family could have reasonably expected. I did everything that he asked me to do, and I let him do his job.”
Why Remaining Silent Makes Sense
The term “sex crime” covers a surprisingly broad range of criminal charges. If you are accused of a sex crime, do not talk to the police. No police, no matter how friendly they may seem. Often, people convict themselves under manipulation by police and court officials. Law enforcement officials will attempt to get you into the police station, isolate you, scare you and get you either to confess or to provide incriminating information.
