When accused of a sex crime, whether child pornography, sexual assault, rape, prostitution, or even failure to register as a sex offender, it can affect not only your freedom, but your employability, reputation, where you may choose to live, even personal and social relationships.

As mentioned earlier, the criminal penalties for a conviction can be extremely severe, depending on the offense an individual is accused of. Unfortunately, children may make up stories that are untrue, usually by being coerced by an adult. Two adults may be involved in a consensual sexual relationship, and one decides to cry rape. It is all too easy for an innocent person to be accused of a sex offense; sadly, a simple remark can result in the ruin of a life. In every criminal case, prosecutors must prove the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; this requires proving each specific element of the crime. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we have more than 30 years of combined experience, and work vigorously to prove our clients' innocence. Whether mistakes were made by police or false accusations, we aggressively challenge the evidence and work with our client to determine the best legal option to achieve the most desirable outcome.
