Los Angeles Sex Crime Defenses
Sex crimes often involve a false accusation and thus you may have a strong defense against your charge. A number of legal defenses are available to defend you against your California sex crime charge. For example, common defenses used include:
- The accuser is making a false accusation
- You have been misidentified
- You had an honest and reasonable belief there was consent
- The physical contact that took place fell short of the required intercourse or penetration
- There is insufficient evidence for a conviction
If charged with a California sex crime, it is highly advisable that you immediately contact an experienced California criminal defense attorney.
