Sex Crimes
What should I do if I am charged with a Sex Crime?
Sex crimes span the entire spectrum of sexual offenses, from unlawful exposure, to forcible sexual assault. In the 21st century, with “Megan’s Law” having become the law of California, being convicted of any sexual offense has incredibly serious repercussions.
The mere allegation of committing a sex crime can lead to embarrassment, shame and social stigmatism. Many people accused of sexual crimes are judged by their community before the trial even begins. Whether you are actually found guilty in court or not, people accused of sex crimes are typically ostracized by society, and their personal and professional relationships suffer. At the Maas Law Offices, we understand the magnitude a sex crime accusation carries, and we do everything in our power to obtain successful results for our clients in Vallejo, Fairfield, Solano County, and othersurrounding areas, including Napa, Yolo, and Contra Costa Counties.

Prosecutors and law enforcement officials typically pursue people charged with sex crimes with extraordinary zeal. In additions, judges sentence people found guilty of a sex crime extremely harshly. You need a defense attorney who will fight for you with the same energy as the police and prosecutors bring against you.
Furthermore, at the trial, due to the social implications sex crime charges carry, many jurors feel pressure to convict the defendant. Sex crime convictions usually result in prison, heavy fines, probation, and lifetime registration as a sex offender. You need an attorney who can help you by fighting against these allegations at trial.
