There are many different types of sex crimes. Most of these offenses are punishable by several years of incarceration. It is important when you become involved in the investigation of a sex crime to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney with experience in litigating sex crimes.
Even from your own home, without coming face to face with anybody, you can be accused of an internet crime. Many of these accusations are for internet sex crimes. These accusations can lead to serious felony charges, carrying with them lengthy prison terms.
Often police will want to search your home to seize your computer. If the police search your home illegally without a search warrant, the evidence illegally seized could be suppressed. Don't ever give permission to the police to search your home without first consulting an experienced sex crimes lawyer.
Often in internet crime, your own statements are the strongest evidence against you. Always talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney first before saying anything to the police. Statements to friends or acquaintances can also be used against you in court. It is critical to a strong defense to speak with an experienced sex crimes attorney as soon as possible if you have been accused of an internet crime.
Imagine two people getting involved in one night of passion. They know each other but not too well. Alcohol is involved, one thing leads to another, and the two people have consensual sex. The next morning one of the people has regrets and wants to make the whole thing go away. The person may be ashamed of herself for letting things progress farther than she wanted them to. One trip to the police and one false allegation of rape turns the life of the accused upside down. This is the time when it is critical to speak with an experienced sex crimes lawyer right away.

Police are allowed to trick or deceive people into confessing or to admitting certain facts that could lead to a serious criminal conviction involving a prison sentence. One common tactic used by the police is accusing somebody with forcible rape on a young teenage girl.
When the person replies, no “it was consensual” or “she was the aggressor”, or “we made love”, they are admitting to a felony crime of criminal sexual conduct if the alleged victim was younger than16 years old. Even an 18 year old boy with a 15 year old girlfriend can be convicted and sent to prison.
It is not a valid defense to statutory rape if you are shown a fake ID that the person was 16.
