When You’ve Been Charged With Sexual Assault In Oregon
Any criminal offenses associated with nonconsensual sex acts are not only extremely serious in nature but have the added stigma that many first think about when they learn someone has been charged with a sex crime, making the criminal defense for such crimes increasingly difficult. Due to the sensitive nature of rape or sexual abuse or sodomy charges, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced sex crimes attorney.
If you or someone you know is in need of a sexual assault or sex crimes defense lawyer in Portland and the surrounding areas, attorney Robert Sepp is here to help. In order to successfully combat rape and sexual assault charges, you need an attorney who is familiar with and comfortable defending those falsely accused of sex crimes to ensure you a fair shot at acquittal or a significantly reduced sentence.
Planning A Sexual Assault Defense
Attorney Sepp has years of experience helping those falsely accused of sex crimes, and he knows how to plan a successful sexual assault defense. Such a defense includes knowing how to pick apart expert witnesses, understanding DNA evidence and toxicology reports and choosing appropriate witnesses for the defense. Without a criminal defense attorney who understands the ways in which DNA evidence is used in sexual assault cases, your chances of freedom or a reduced sentence in the event of a positive match will be slim.
Consequences Of A Sexual Assault Conviction
If you are convicted of rape or sexual assault, chances are that you will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life, no matter where you live. Everyone in your area will have access to your personal information, including your picture, as this will be posted publicly on the internet. Additionally, registered sex offenders are often ostracized and chased out of communities and have difficulty finding housing and employment.
Don’t let yourself become a registered sex offender because of a false accusation – contact attorney Sepp today and learn whether your case qualifies for a consultation.
