These cases present unique challenges for the defendant.
When it comes to criminal offenses, few strike as much anger in the hearts of the general public as sex crimes. Even before anyone knows the facts of a case, people rush to judgment — condemning the accused and branding him guilty before the first hearing in a case.
Sex crimes are unique among crimes in the United States, drawing a high amount of scrutiny from the public.

The defendant’s family and friends may be asked invasive questions. A defendant in a sex crimes case may find that his or her job is in jeopardy, and that people are not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
