Sex Crimes FAQ

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if I am accused of a sex crime?

If you are accused of a sex crime, it is crucial to remain calm and avoid making any statements to law enforcement without legal representation. Contact an experienced attorney who specializes in sex crime defense as soon as possible to discuss your situation and understand your rights.

Acting swiftly and decisively in these situations can make a significant difference. Early intervention by a skilled legal team allows for critical evidence to be preserved and potential defenses to be identified and explored.

How long do I have to respond to a sex crime charge?

The timeframe to respond to a sex crime charge can vary based on the specifics of the case and the type of charge. Generally, you should act quickly to secure legal representation and ensure you meet all deadlines for filing motions or responses.

It's important to understand that these deadlines are critical to the process. Missing them could result in losing significant legal options that might favorably affect the course of your defense. At Monroe Law, P.A., we prioritize not only meeting but strategically navigating deadlines to position your case effectively within the judicial system.

Can I be charged with a sex crime if the encounter was consensual?

Yes, in some cases, individuals can still face charges for sex crimes even if both parties consented. This can happen in situations involving age differences, power dynamics, or other factors that may affect consent. Legal guidance is essential in such situations.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony sex crime?

Misdemeanor sex crimes typically carry less severe penalties, such as shorter jail time and lower fines, while felony sex crimes are more serious and can result in lengthy imprisonment and significant fines. The classification depends on the nature of the offense and state laws.
