Houston Sex Crimes Against Children Defense Attorney
Houston Sex Crimes Defense Attorney
If you have been charged with a sex crime — whether or not you are guilty — you may be facing serious penalties. Public outcry based on misinformation can cause prosecutors to ignore the facts. The government faces strong public pressure to prosecute alleged sex offenders aggressively. Children can be easily manipulated into making false allegations because they are often eager to please or because they are too young to understand what they are relaying.
