New York Sex Crime Defense Attorneys

The Law Firm of Conaway & Strickler, P.C.

Sex crimes are not always as clear cut as other instances of crime. Whereas many crimes are perpetrated by an individual who either did or did not commit an illegal act, sex crimes don’t necessarily question whether or not an illegal act took place, but examine the motives behind the act having been committed in the first place. For example, while one person may accuse another person of rape, the accused individual may claim that he or she was given consent prior to the act having taking place. Ultimately, sex crimes hinge more on accusations than other crimes in New York may. As a result, an aggressive and well laid out defense is certainly required to ensure that the accused individual is given every possible right at defending his or her good name in a court of law.

Sex crimes can involve, as previously mentioned, an act of rape. Such crimes can also involve sexual battery, the committing of some kind of lewd act, or attempting to prostitute one’s body, exchanging some sort of sex act for monetary compensation or gain of some kind. Some crimes, such as indecent exposure, may only involve a singe individual, while other crimes, such as rape, need to include more than one individual. A sex crime such as the sexual assault of an individual younger than the legal age of consent may require an individual to register as a sex offender upon conviction, while another sex crime such as solicitation of prostitution will not require such registry.

Conviction of a sex crime can result in misdemeanor or felony convictions, can require an individual to seek and obtain counseling meant to rehabilitate the individual, and could ultimately make the rest of the individual’s life extremely difficult. Specifically, if convicted of a sex crime, even rehabilitated individuals may find it extremely difficult to secure viable employment or obtain suitable housing, particularly since conviction of some sex crimes requires convicted individuals to register as sex offenders in New York.

With the advent of new technology, individuals can even be accused of committing sex crimes alone from the privacy of their own homes. The catalogue of sex crimes now includes internet sex crimes which, given the sense of anonymity on the internet, has undoubtedly led to countless instances of false accusations against innocent individuals. Sexual misconduct and solicitation over the internet has opened up a new dimension in sex crime defense that only an experienced New York sex offense defense attorney knows how to traverse.
