Sex Crimes & Internet Pornography Defense

Experienced Central Florida Sex Crimes & Internet Pornography Defense Attorneys

An arrest for any sex crime can be life-altering. In addition to a lengthy prison sentence, you could face sex offender registration requirements which will follow you around for the rest of your life. If you are under investigation for or have been arrested for sexual assault, statutory rape, or a computer sex crime, you need to discuss your case with a lawyer before you say anything to police in order to protect your rights.

At the law firm of Jaeger & Blankner in Orlando, Florida, our lawyers have more than 60 years of combined experience dealing with charges ranging from statutory rape, to sexual assault, to computer sex crimes like chat room offenses and possession of child pornography.

No matter how bad you think your sex crimes case may be, there are always defenses a skilled lawyer like that at Jaeger & Blankner can use that may result in a dismissal or reduction of charges, or help minimize the penalties. Possible defenses depend on the facts of your particular case.

Possible defenses in sex crimes & internet pornography cases

• In a case of sexual assault, consent may be used as a defense. However, this defense will not work if you have already denied having sex with the alleged victim. This is one of the main reasons you need to talk to an attorney before you talk to police; everything you say to police can have an impact on your case.
• If you are charged with statutory rape, mistake of age is not a defense. However, it can be a mitigating factor in your punishment if the victim held herself out to be of legal age.
• In a child pornography case, the state has to have forensic experts to prove that the images are real images of children. It may be difficult for the state to prove that the images are not digital composites or images of adults manipulated to look younger.
• If your computer was seized as evidence of a computer sex crimes investigation, our lawyers can determine if police had a valid search warrant. If the search warrant was not legal, then the computer evidence can be suppressed.
