Sex Crimes Cases We Handle

In the state of Georgia, there is actually a wide range of sex crimes, with different penalties for distinct crimes. What makes the laws so complex, however, is that the penalties can also change depending on whether the crime is designated as a misdemeanor or as a felony.

Some of the examples of sex crimes include:

Consequences for Sex Crimes in Georgia

Understandably, committing a sexual crime against another person can cause terrible trauma to those victims. However, for those unfairly accused of committing a sexual crime, the charge spells out the virtual ending of one’s life. Even if you manage to survive the extremely harsh environment and bias that occurs against supposed sex crime offenders, there are life-long consequences as well.

Sex Offender Registry

In addition to potential lengthy incarceration, you will be forced to register as a sexual offender, if your offense was counted as a felony. The sex offender registry is an online database that has your name, age, distinguishing characteristics, and details about the crime that you were convicted of. Once you are on this registry, it becomes extremely difficult to get employment, housing, loans, or even insurance.

What Is the Age of Consent in Georgia?

The age of consent in Georgia is 16 which is the youngest age a person can give his/her consent to sexual activities. People under 16 can’t give sexual consent and if they did, it would still be considered rape.

How We Defend Against Sex Crimes

Because we have an exceptional level of trial experience, our first duty to clients is to fully review the facts of their cases. Every detail is analyzed carefully, including police procedure. There are many cases in which the defendant’s rights have been violated.

You are protected from certain police actions by the Constitution and when police spy on you, they must have a reasonable cause. To enter your home or office and search, they are required to have a search warrant unless you allow them inside voluntarily. If your computer, phone, or other digital device was taken by police without following the correct procedure, this evidence may be inadmissible. We need to find out what happened.

You may have been accused of committing a sex crime based purely on someone else’s testimony. Although it is common to believe an alleged victim, there are many cases on file in which a person made false accusations. This can occur after a consensual sexual act that the person later regrets, and now claims it was not consensual.

Our knowledgeable Savannah sex crime attorneys are acutely aware of the methods that law enforcement officials utilize to investigate cases, which can sometimes be mistaken or sloppy, or even deceitful and malicious.
