Sex crimes are some of the most complicated charges you can face. Not only will a conviction potentially lead to years in prison, but it could also require you to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. Even being charged can create a stigma around you that makes employment and personal relationships a challenge.
A recent case in Orange County has renewed the fight to ensure that people aren’t wrongfully convicted of these crimes. The case in question involves a music teacher who’s been charged with sex crimes with two of his underage students. Though his trial is pending and he hasn’t been convicted of anything, he’s already lost everything: His business, his family, and his friends. At Chambers Law Firm, we don’t believe in assuming people are guilty. Read on to learn more about sex crimes in California and then reach out to us at 714-760-4088 if you need help.

Your best defense strategy
While some law firms may claim that they have the best method of responding to a sex crimes case, the truth is that there is no one-size-fits-all method. Instead, we take the time to look through the evidence against you carefully to find the best possible defense strategy. It is designed specifically to respond to the circumstances of your case, your goals for resolution, and your unique needs.
You can trust that we fully understand the rules of evidence. Forensic analysis of any evidence, including DNA, hair, or fibers, can play a big part in these cases. We know how to challenge this evidence. In many cases, our first goal as your criminal defense attorney is to show that there isn’t enough evidence against you and that the charges must be dropped.
On the other hand, your best defense option may be for us to argue that you had the consent of the supposed victim. Even if there’s a wealth of evidence against you, we can still fight for you. We may suggest a plea agreement and can negotiate it aggressively on your behalf. Depending on the charges and the specifics, we may be able to have your charges or your sentence reduced significantly.
