Criminal Defense of Sexual Offenses
Our Practice
Anyone can accuse you of a sexual charge, and the evidence is often based on hearsay. A divorce, a casual comment made by a child at school, a relationship between two teenagers and even clicking on a pornographic web site can all result in sexual criminal charges.
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.), Title 13, Criminal Code, Chapter 14, Sexual Offenses, defines several primary sexual offenses. They are:
- 13-1402 Indecent exposure
- 13-1403 Public sexual indecency
- 13-1404 Sexual abuse
- 13-1405 Sexual conduct with a minor
- 13-1406 Sexual assault

- 13-1424 Voyeurism
Additional offenses per (A.R.S.), Title 13, Criminal Code, Chapter 32, Prostitution, and (A.R.S.), Title 13, Criminal Code, Chapter 35.1, Sexual Exploitation of children can include:

- 13-3553 Sexual exploitation of a minor

Being accused of a sex crime can be very devastating. Ramifications can include very lengthy imprisonment, hefty fines and registering as a sex offender which can have an effect on your job, where you live and even your friends and family. The fact is that when people read or hear about allegations of sexual offenses, they often conclude the allegations are true without even a hint of knowledge concerning the case.
