Sexual Offenses

Riverside, California Sex Crimes Attorney

Sexual Assault • Statutory Rape • Solicitation

Responding to allegations of a sexual offense requires careful consideration. Explanations of your actions intended to clear your name can be used against you in criminal proceedings. Before making any statements to police, exercise your right to remain silent and contact an attorney.

Experienced Representation by a Former Prosecutor

Sexual assault charges are taken very seriously by district attorneys. Even if sex was consensual and the person later calls it rape, you could still wind up in prison and labeled as a "sex offender" without a veteran defense attorney in your corner. We examine all evidence of the alleged crime: the victim's complaint, witness statements, police investigation reports, DNA evidence or other physical evidence. We move to suppress evidence obtained through illegal search and seizure, prejudicial police line-ups, or other violations of our clients' rights. We identify inconsistent statements by the alleged victim or exonerating evidence that police and prosecutors have ignored, and examine relevant history of the victim such as previous allegations of sexual assault.

I am a former Riverside County prosecutor who has represented numerous sexual assault defendants in 29 years as a criminal defense lawyer. I aggressively pursue every avenue to get charges dismissed, negotiate a plea to lesser charges, and prepare for the possibility of a jury trial.

Consent Under California Law

In California, the age of sexual consent is 18. We have represented many clients 18 years and older charged with statutory rape for having consensual relations with a girlfriend/boyfriend who is 17 or younger. We also represent clients accused of enticement of minors over the Internet with the intention of meeting for sex. Every effort is made to have charges dropped or reduced, including evidence that the victim misrepresented his or her age.

Megan's Law and Sex Offender Violations

California law requires any convicted sex offender to register with state and local authorities as to their residence and employment. Failing to register is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.
