What Constitutes a Sex Crime in Texas?
Sex crimes refer to a broad category of offenses that generally involve illegal or forced sexual behavior against another person. For instance, it is against federal and state law to have sex with someone without their consent, including those who are legally unable to consent, such as a child.
If you’ve been accused of, charged with, or convicted of a sex crime in Texas, you may feel ashamed and unsure who to turn to—even if you’re completely innocent or the truth is far more complex than it appears on the surface. What you need is a nonjudgmental, professional criminal defense attorney who will listen to you, learn your side of the story, and successfully advocate on your behalf. Finding the right defense lawyer you can trust is essential, as sex crime convictions often come with serious ramifications, including prison time and sex offender registration.
