Sex Crime Attorneys in The Woodlands Protecting You from Exaggerated and False Sex Crime Allegations

Certain crimes carry a stigma more than other crimes, and sex crimes are one of them. An arrest for any criminal offense is intrusive, but being accused of sexual assault against a child or adult has lifelong consequences. Sex crime offenders face potential prison time, fines, job loss, and public scrutiny with a lifetime sex offender registration.

The chilling thing about sex crime charges and the criminal justice system is that the prosecution doesn’t need more than a witness and the victim to pursue serious charges against you in most cases. Along the same lines, it’s possible to move false accusations forward as the physical evidence isn’t needed to convict a person.

It’s essential to consider these facts when facing sex crime charges. Hiring a criminal defense attorney might be the only thing standing between you and the maximum sentence for a crime you did—or did not commit. Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, is up to the challenge.

What are Sex Crimes?

A sex crime is any activity that involves inappropriate sexual touching, coerced sexual activity, and intercourse with another person—adult or minor.

  • Child sex offenses, such as sexual assault of a minor, aggravated assault and kidnapping, rape, sex trafficking, and child prostitution
  • Online solicitation of a minor
  • Possession of child pornography
  • Public lewdness
  • Indecent exposure
  • Improper student and teacher relationship
  • Promotion or prostitution
  • Obscenity
  • Invasive visual recording
  • Rape and assault

Sex crimes are serious offenses that demand the highest legal protection. Contact Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, to discuss your sex crime charges to see how we can help your case. Call us today: 713-862-7766.

What is the Punishment for Sex Crimes in Texas?

A sex crime allegation can change a person’s life—and quickly. It doesn’t take long for a person’s reputation and innocence to be questioned before any facts are revealed, or a final verdict is reached. There are emotional punishments for sex crime charges and other life-changing penalties.

Punishments for sex crimes vary depending on the charge and offense. Anyone with prior sex crime convictions will face a stricter sentence, likely more prison time, and significant fines. Public lewdness, first-time prostitution, or indecent exposure can yield fines ranging from $500 to $4,000 and jail time from 180 days to one year. These are considered misdemeanor offenses.

More severe acts, such as indecency with a child and sexual assault involving a minor, can range from 180 days to life in prison. These are considered felony charges.

How Do I Cope with a Sex Crime Charge?

It’s common to watch friends and family break ties with alleged sex offenders as most people don’t know what to do or say. Finding a healthy way to cope and stay in touch with reality is essential for anyone accused of a sex crime.

In helping other clients navigate sex crime charges, we recommend the following tips to protect yourself. These include:

  • Keeping a low profile
  • Maintaining a routine best as possible
  • Avoiding contact with the victim or the victim’s family
  • Avoiding conversations related to the sex crime charge

Our attorneys can best prepare you for what’s to come.

Are there Ways to Beat a Sex Crime Conviction?

Our attorneys with Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, represent the accused in sex crime cases. Many of our clients have been charged with rape, assault, indecency, and other criminal charges. Our goal is to challenge the prosecution’s case to achieve reduced or dismissed charges and clear our clients’ names.

To contest a sex crime conviction, our attorneys might use many types of criminal defense strategies to change the outcome of a sex crime case. For starters, we prep our clients to ensure they remain silent and don’t share any information that could be used against them in court later on.

Our attorneys might challenge the forensic evidence and source of accusations, overturn any evidence that violates the law, or recommend a polygraph to bring to light any results that might be used to your advantage. Contact Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law, to protect yourself from severe sex crime penalties: 713-862-7766.
