Los Angeles Sex Crimes Lawyer

Legal Overview of Sex Crimes in Los Angeles

Few crimes are more intimate, difficult, or stigmatizing than sex crimes. Many times, the allegations are untrue and inconsistent with the alleged offender’s background, character, or lifestyle. They are alleged based on exaggerations, lies, or deception, often with ulterior motives or mistaken identity, misunderstandings, and more. Whatever the reasons for the allegations or the circumstances surrounding them, the mere accusation of a sex crime can lead to devasting and life-changing outcomes for the accused. These can include divorce, loss of friends, job loss, and social isolation, among other collateral consequences. If convicted, annual sex offender registration may be required, which is the most stigmatizing aspect of a conviction.
