Sex Crime Defense Overview

When you have been charged with a serious sex crime, such as child molestation or rape, you want to work with lawyer W. Scott Toth of Garretson, Webb & Toth, L.L.C., in Olathe, Kansas, because he fights aggressively on behalf of his clients.

With more than 20 years of experience handling sex crime cases, Scott Toth understands how the legal system is supposed to work and protects his clients by managing his cases within the scope of the system. He defends clients facing a wide variety of sex crime charges including:

• Rape: In the past, sex crimes were narrowly defined as either rape or aggravated sexual assault. Today, the spectrum of possible charges is broader and if you are convicted, the stakes are higher than ever.
• Serious child molestation: These charges are very grave and you could be facing a life sentence in jail. Many people accused of this crime are viewed as guilty by the public before they get a chance to prove their innocence.

Scott Toth also defends clients who face violations of Jessica's Law. Implemented in 2006 and modeled after a case in Florida, this law gives people a mandatory life sentence if convicted of any sex crime against a child who is 14 years old or younger. Kansas' version of this law can be unfairly applied to every person, regardless of the degree of the crime. When he worked for the Johnson County District Attorney's Office, Scott Toth helped draft Jessica's Law, so he knows the law inside and out and can prepare a strong defense for his clients.
