Sex Crime Lawyer in San Diego, CA

Sex Crime Overview

The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is indispensable to basic fairness and our system of criminal justice. Sadly enough, however, this fundamental idea is often ignored or forgotten about when a person has been accused of committing a sex crime. This can lead to overzealous prosecutions, as seen in the infamous Duke lacrosse team case. It can also lead to wrongful convictions. Each year, in fact, new stories emerge about people who were falsely accused and convicted for sex crimes they did not commit.

Whether the allegations against you are true, false or somewhere in between, you have important constitutional rights, including the right to a fair trial and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. For a law firm with the experience and tenacity it will take to protect your rights and freedom in Southern California, call the Law Office of Vikas Bajaj, APC in San Diego.

Sex Crimes and the Harsh Realities of a Conviction

People who get convicted of sex crimes often receive harsher sentences than individuals convicted of willfully or negligently taking another person's life. Our attorneys understand the enormous stakes involved in these cases and aggressively defend clients charged with sex crimes of every type, including:

• Child pornography offenses (possession in any form or distribution by any means)
• Child molestation
• Statutory rape
• Date rape
• Sexual assault/rape
• Domestic violence related sex offenses

The consequences of a conviction depend on the specific charges and a variety of other factors. Generally speaking, however, there is always the potential for significant jail or prison time, as well as lifelong personal, employment and social consequences that stem from having a criminal record and required registration as a sex offender.

When we are hired by a client, we waste no time getting an independent investigation started and carefully reviewing facts gathered from witnesses, police reports, medical records and experts with whom we work. Once that process is complete, we will take every necessary action to protect your interests and build a successful defense.

If you have been charged or believe you may be charged with a sex crime in Southern California, take immediate action to protect your rights.
