Defense Strategies in Sexual Offense Cases

Even before a case is resolved, those who are accused of sex crimes face a social stigma that can impact every corner of their lives. In an effort to do harm to a person's reputation, accusations of sexual offenses are sometimes falsely made. We listen to our client's version of events, and we investigate the circumstances of every case. It is up to the prosecution to prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, and our attorneys are skilled in raising doubt and challenging witnesses and evidence. We are experienced in handling all types of sex charges including:

• Rape
• Sexual Assault
• Sexual Abuse
• Sexual Battery
• Child Molestation
• Child Pornography
• Prostitution
• Indecent Exposure

In sexual offense cases, attorneys will often settle for a plea deal that limits their client's jail time and closes the case. At the Law Offices of Tedone and Morton, P.C., we have a big picture point of view. We understand the harsh consequences of a conviction and the severe limitations imposed by sex offender status. We will fight to not only keep you out of jail but also to prevent you from having to register as a sex offender. Our attorneys pursue every opportunity to secure a dismissal of charges or an acquittal where possible.
