Defenses Against Sex Crime Charges
Our experienced Salt Lake City sex crimes lawyers are dedicated to exploring all available defenses to protect your rights. Some common defense strategies include:
- Consent: Proving that the alleged sexual activity was consensual and that both parties willingly participated can be a strong defense in many cases.
- False Accusations: Sometimes, false allegations are made for various reasons, such as revenge, jealousy, or misunderstanding. We diligently investigate the circumstances surrounding the accusations to uncover any inconsistencies or motives for false claims.
- Lack of Evidence: The burden of proof lies with the prosecution. If there is insufficient evidence to support the charges, we work to challenge the case's validity.
- Violation of Rights: If your constitutional rights were violated during the arrest, investigation, or interrogation, we can seek to have evidence suppressed or the case dismissed.
