Criminal Defense: Sex Offenses
The attorneys of Missouri’s Meehan Law Firm represents individuals who have been accused of sexual misconduct, ranging from such misdemeanors as inappropriate conduct or exposing one’s body, to the more serious sex crimes such as statutory rape, sodomy and forcible rape. Cybersex offenses are also a growing area of this field, including internet luring, internet trolling and inappropriate contact with underage victims.
Sex crimes are the most difficult cases to defend, since they are often emotionally packed, and credibility is always an issue. Many sex crimes require trial to resolve the cases, and probation is sometimes unavailable by statute.
If you are charged with a sex offense, you should not speak to the police until you have consulted with a criminal defense lawyer. If you think you are going to be charged, or if you have been charged, you need to contact the Meehan Law Firm immediately.
