Sex Crimes

Phoenix, Arizona Sex Offense Lawyer

Sex crimes can range from minor crimes, like prostitution, to the most serious crimes on the books, such as rape, sexual conduct with a minor, child molestation or child pornography. People convicted of "Dangerous Crimes Against Children," which includes any sex crime involving a child under 18, face the harshest sentencing statute in Arizona. When you hear on the news that someone received a 100 or 200 or even 300 year sentence, the DCAC statute is almost always to blame.

Against these extraordinary penalties, sex offenses are almost always prosecuted on the weakest possible evidence. Typically, there is no forensic evidence to speak of, and the cases go to trial just on the testimony of a "victim" and the person charged. The victim is usually highly emotional and sympathetic, and may well be motivated by jealousy or bias. The prosecutor will try to paint the person charged as a "pervert," even if there is no evidence to support such a claim. The jury is asked to pick one person to believe, the crying victim, or the accused. Needless to say, these cases are the greatest uphill battle of all criminal cases in Arizona.
