Omaha's sex crimes defense attorney
Sex crimes are among the most serious and sensitive criminal offenses that a person can be charged with, both under Nebraska state law and federal law. Being accused of a sex crime can have a devastating impact on a person’s reputation, relationships, and future prospects. If you are facing sex crime charges in Nebraska, it is essential to work with a skilled and diligent criminal defense attorney who can mount a strong defense on your behalf.
Under Nebraska state law, sex crimes are categorized as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the severity of the offense. Misdemeanor sex crimes include offenses such as sexual assault, indecent exposure, and solicitation of prostitution. Felony sex crimes include more serious offenses such as rape, sexual assault of a child, and sexual exploitation of a minor. If you are convicted of a sex crime in Nebraska, you could face significant prison time, fines, and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Similarly, under federal law, sex crimes are considered extremely serious and can result in severe penalties. Federal sex crimes include offenses such as sexual exploitation of a minor, child pornography, and sex trafficking. Federal convictions for sex crimes can lead to lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender.
Defending against sex crime charges can be a complicated process. A skilled criminal defense attorney can help you explore several potential defense strategies to fight these charges, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. Here are a few common defense tactics that a Nebraska criminal defense attorney may use in sex crime cases:
Challenging the evidence: One of the most effective defense strategies is to challenge the evidence that the prosecution has against you. For instance, if the evidence was obtained illegally, your attorney may argue that it should be suppressed and not used against you in court.
Attacking the credibility of the witnesses: In many sex crime cases, the prosecution relies heavily on the testimony of witnesses. Your attorney may challenge the credibility of these witnesses by cross-examining them or using expert witnesses to refute their claims.
Proving that the sex was consensual: In some cases, a defendant may argue that the sex in question was consensual, and therefore, not a crime. This defense may be successful if the prosecution cannot prove that the sexual encounter was non-consensual.
Insanity or mental defect: If a defendant has a history of mental illness or defect, their attorney may argue that they were not capable of forming the necessary intent to commit the crime.
Mistaken identity: In some sex crime cases, a defendant may argue that they were misidentified as the perpetrator of the crime.
