Sex crimes include all types of illegal sexual activities, and any sexual act against a person, if done forcibly or against their will. Often persons accused of conduct alleged to be a sex crime are presumed guilty because of the very nature of the crime. Nor is it uncommon for criminal defense attorneys to assume the client is guilty or fail to provide a strong defense because they don't believe any defense exists.
At the Chicago law firm of Roberta Cole, we apply expertise derived from many years of experience to defend you, when you are accused of a sex crime. Ms. Cole is a highly skilled legal advocate, who understand the law. She will frankly discuss your involvement, evaluate the elements surrounding your situation and protect your rights under the law.
Examples of forcible sex offenses are rape, sodomy, assault with an object and forcible fondling. Sexual acts against persons, who are under age and, therefore, do not have the legal ability to consent, include incest and statutory rape. Other sex crimes include, but are not limited to:
- Sexual Assault
- Indecent Exposure
- Molestation
- Rape
- Obscenity
- Child Pornography
- Sexual Battery
- Prostitution
- Patronizing a Prostitute
When you are charged with a sex crime, beyond the penalties for conviction, which may include fines and prison sentences, other serious consequences are the requirement to register as a sex offender, you may be prevented from seeing your children and you may lose your job.
By retaining a trusted, knowledgeable attorney at the outset of a sex crime investigation or accusation, you may avoid the embarrassment of being arrested at home or work. As your attorney, Roberta Cole may be able to contact Cook County law enforcement and the court to arrangement for private and voluntary surrender. An experienced attorney’s early intervention on your behalf may also play a significant role in minimizing the charges and improve the final outcome of your case.
