There are numerous types of crimes against children you could be charged with
Any action that is motivated by a sexual interest in children that is likely to upset or irritate children is illegal. This includes harassing or annoying youngsters. Lewd remarks alone are sufficient to support accusations; physical contact is not necessary.
It is illegal to intentionally touch a child or make one touch another for the aim of arousing or satisfying one’s sexual desires. Intercourse, sodomy, and oral copulation with a kid are examples of obscene behaviors that fall under different categories and are subject to heavier punishments.
You might face up to 16 years in state jail if you commit three or more indecent actions with a child under 14 over the course of at least three months, thanks to laws against continuous sexual abuse of a child.
Child pornography is the production, possession, or dissemination of images of children engaging in sexual conduct and it is illegal. Child abuse is defined as any bodily harm that is knowingly done on a child and is not permitted as a form of legitimate punishment.
You might be sentenced to up to 11 years in state prison if you kidnap a child violently or if you convince, seduce, or coax them to go somewhere with you for indecent intentions. The severity of your punishment will depend on the situation. Even if you don’t actually relocate or take the child somewhere, you might still be charged with child abduction if you keep a child away from their lawful guardian.
We’ll defend your rights
Unfortunately, in situations involving crimes against minors, false accusations are all too common. Sometimes kids make up stories, or other adults encourage them to do so. They may recall an incident incorrectly or assign blame to the incorrect party through “perpetrator substitution.” Chambers Law Firm is aware of the best methods to utilize in exposing unfounded accusations.
We also comprehend the subtleties of dealing with highly technological evidence, such as the outcomes of forensic analyses of saliva, hair, skin, or semen or the findings of medical exams of children who have allegedly been maltreated.
As your defense attorney, we will put forth a lot of effort to develop a defense plan that is tailored to the particulars of your case. You can avoid a lot of worry and suffering if we are able to step in early enough to stop an arrest or get the charges withdrawn before trial. However, if there is substantial evidence against you, we can still be of assistance by attempting to reach a fair and reasonable plea agreement. For instance, we might be able to reduce a charge of child molestation to battery, preventing you from being added to the sex offender register.
