Sex Crimes

Sex Crime Defense Attorneys

Those accused of sex crimes have been so often demonized by the media and politicians that the public perception is that an allegation is the equivalent of guilt. At Fitzpatrick Hagood Smith & Uhl LLP, in Dallas, Texas, we recognize that this is not true. Moreover, we understand that even an allegation can ruin a reputation. Our attorneys are committed to using every resource at our disposal to protect the legal rights, reputation, and the freedom of our clients charged with sex crimes.

Discreet Sex Crime Defense Lawyers

"Sex crimes" is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of criminal sexual conduct. Sex offenses are much easier to prosecute than they are to prove, because too often people want to believe the victim would not make a false allegation. Cases involving sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and date rape are commonly built on circumstantial evidence, often the police and prosecutors are simply taking the word of the alleged victim over the word of the accused perpetrator.

While recent advances in technology, such as DNA testing, can exclude suspects, it cannot show with 100% certainty that someone is guilty. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling a wide variety of criminal cases involving sex crimes. Among the crimes a person may be charged with are:

• Sexual assault
• Violation of sex offender registration requirements
• Public lewdness
• Child pornography
• Prostitution
• Child abuse
• Date rape
• Rape
• Fondling
• Computer sex crimes

We recognize that allegations of a sexual offense place the rights, reputation, and freedom of our clients at risk.
