Knoxville, Tennessee Sex Crimes Lawyer

Lawyer for Sensitive Crimes in Knoxville, TN

Few other types of criminal charges have the level of negative stigma associated with them as sex offenses. In the court of public opinion, a person accused of a sex crime is often considered guilty until they are proven innocent. Simply being accused of a sex offense is often enough to end careers and relationships. Those who are convicted of these offenses will face additional difficulties. They could be sentenced to serve time in prison, be required to pay large fines, and face registration as a sex offender, which can limit their opportunities and permanently damage their standing in the community.

At The Baker Law Firm, we understand the delicacy of cases involving sex offense charges. We believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. We are tactful but diligent when representing people charged with sex crimes. We do everything in our power to protect our clients' privacy while we advocate for their rights.

Revealing Facts When Fighting Sex Crime Charges

Sex crime cases often involve improper police work, hearsay, and he said/she said situations. Alleged victims may sometimes be coached into providing certain responses after repeated questioning. Witnesses and people of interest may have their civil rights violated during police investigations. Misconduct, mistakes, and a lack of forensic evidence may all play a part in building a defense against sex crime charges.

We defend clients against all types of sex crime charges, including:

• Child pornography: Simply possessing videos or photographs of children in sexual situations is a serious offense, but the penalties are even more severe for those who are accused of distributing these materials or creating or promoting child pornography.
• Indecent exposure: Someone who is accused of exposing their private parts to others for the purpose of sexual gratification may face criminal penalties and potential sex offender registration.
• Prostitution: People who agree to accept money or other forms of compensation in return for engaging in sexual activities may face criminal charges. Those who are accused of soliciting prostitution may also be charged with crimes.
• Rape: Forcing a person to have sexual intercourse through violence, threats, or coercion is one of the most serious sexual offenses. A person may face these accusations in a variety of situations, including when someone was allegedly unconscious or incapable of providing consent.
• Sexual assault and sexual battery: Sexual contact other than sexual intercourse that was allegedly committed without receiving consent can result in serious criminal charges.
• Sex crimes involving children or minors: An adult who is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a person under the age of 18 may face severe penalties. These cases may include allegations of sexual assault, online solicitation, or other offenses.
