Comprehensive Legal Defense for Sex Crime Allegations in Tennessee

A conviction for 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. Many offenses mandate lifetime sex offender registration, which will affect every aspect of a defendant’s life.

Defending Against a Wide Range of Sex Offenses in TN

All too often, people find themselves being charged with a sex crime based on mistaken or manipulated accusers. The suspicion of a sex crime sometimes leads to a rush to judgment without a thorough investigation.

Our Nashville sex offender attorneys defend clients across the state facing such charges as:

Aggravated sexual battery
Aggravated statutory rape
Child molestation
Child pornography
Indecent exposure
Patronizing prostitution
Rape
Rape of a child
Sex trafficking
Sexual exploitation of a minor
Statutory rape by an authority figure

Our Nashville sex offender lawyers believe these allegations of sexual misconduct demand immediate action. Some begin in a divorce court or juvenile court. On some occasions, we have been successful in preventing a sex crime charge by responding to the accuser in a Juvenile Dependent and Neglect Petition. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your case, we are confident in our ability to take the appropriate strategy to pursue a favorable result.

Understanding the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry

Being convicted of a sex crime has severe and long-lasting consequences. 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 are assigned, daycare 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 various websites. Your reputation, career, housing, education, and relationships will all be affected.

Investigating the Evidence in Your Sex Crime Case

Cases involving sex crimes are emotionally charged. The stigma of the arrest alone can ruin a reputation. At May McKinney, our Nashville sex crime defense lawyers 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 and sometimes coached or conditioned to give a certain response by repeated questioning. We uncover constitutional rights violations, errors, and misconduct that can positively impact our clients’ cases.

Why Choose May McKinney for Your Sex Crime Defense

Do not let the prosecution trample on your rights. The consequences of a conviction on a charge of statutory rape, sexual assault of a minor, or any sex crime are too great. Put a team on your side that have the resources, skill, and experience to deliver the highest quality service and representation through every stage of your investigation, charges, and trial.

"If your looking for a great lawyer, stop looking & hire these guys!"
I can’t thank Rob Mckinney enough for all of his help with my case . I had never been in trouble before, & was very leery on paying for a lawyer, but from the moment I hired them, until my case was over, I never regretted my decision to have them represent me. Both Rob & Shyanne took every one of my phone calls, & answered every question that I ever could possibly come up. I was an emotional mess from the get go, and probably asked 1000 more questions than necessary, but they took the time to go through absolutely everything with me, and never made me feel like I was wasting their time or that I was inferior to them. Their knowledge, wisdom and guidance was so comforting & helped me with the stress of the legal process. My case took 2 years & 13 court appearances, so it was not an easy journey, but they made me feel at ease the entire time, & in the end, the charges were dropped. Thank you ! - Lisa F (aka super satisfied client)
