Dallas Child Sexual Abuse Attorney

Fort Worth Sex Crime Lawyer

A criminal charge of sexual abuse is more general than the charge of sexual assault. A person could be charged with child sexual abuse for many different types of sexual contact, especially if it happened more than once.

• Child sexual abuse charges can be brought against anyone, not just family members.
• There are two levels of child sexual abuse: sexual abuse if the victim is under the age of 14 and aggravated sexual abuse if the child is under age 6.
• You face additional penalties if the sexual abuse has been ongoing or there have been multiple incidences within a 30-day period.

If you have been charged with child sexual abuse, you are facing a difficult situation. This is extremely serious. If your case goes to trial, your defense lawyer will need to work hard to help the jury overcome its preconceptions.

The Dallas child sexual abuse defense attorneys at Crain ◊ Lewis, LLP, have extensive experience defending clients against state and federal sex crime charges involving children. (Child sexual abuse is charged at the state level.)

Our goal in your defense is to put you in the best possible position with the prosecutor or the jury.

• Can we get the charge reduced from child sexual abuse to injury to a child? That will allow you to avoid mandatory sex offender registration.
• Do you have credible witnesses who can prove you were not there, who can speak to your positive relationship with the child, or who have evidence that the allegations are false ?
• Have you taken a polygraph test and passed it? While the state may not dismiss your case, it may have difficulty proving its case and may offer a reduced sentence.

We are sensitive to the challenges of children in court. We work with investigators and child psychology experts to build our client's defense. We are aggressive in protecting your rights.
