Tennessee Sex Crimes and Statutory Rape Lawyer
A conviction of a sex crime and the subsequent sentence extends beyond the walls of a prison. Sex crimes are becoming more high profile every day with constant news stories detailing the activities of various sex offenders. At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law in Nashville, Tennessee, we defend clients fighting these and other sex crime charges:
- Sexual assault (rape)
- Sexual exploitation of a minor
- Child pornography and molestation
- Child pornography and Internet crimes
Cases we have handled include statutory rape, sexual battery, aggravated sexual battery, child rape, sexual exploitation of a minor, online solicitation of a minor, and other internet sex crimes. Charges involving sex crimes are emotionally-charged. The stigma of the arrest alone can ruin a reputation.
At the Law Office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law , we try to eliminate the emotional components and get right to the facts, which include securing forensic evidence. The Draconian rules that surround sex crimes cases require us to take an aggressive stance in defending your rights. We look at police interrogation techniques that may have resulted in a confession. Many times, the alleged underage victim is improperly interviewed, sometimes coached, or conditioned to give a certain response by repeated questioning.
Those convicted of sex crimes can face "jailhouse justice" if they are sentenced to prison. Following a prison term, you will be forced to register as a sex offender, which is akin to a life sentence for your crime. Depending on the level that you assigned, day care centers, schools, and other facilities that house children will have to be notified. Neighbors will attend community meetings and your face will likely be plastered on the front of the local newspaper and possibly on internet sites.
Do not let the prosecution trample on your rights. The consequences of conviction on a charge of statutory rape or sexual assault of a minor are too great.
