Chandler Sex Crimes Lawyers
Being charged with a sex crime in Chandler, AZ can have serious and grave repercussions. Sex offenses are generally investigated very aggressively and have severe penalties for those who are convicted. In addition, the stigma of being charged with a sex crime can leave life-long scars. It can affect your personal, business, and professional relationships, as well as affect your ability to find employment or rent a home.
A number of different offenses fall into the sex crimes category, but they generally involve illegal or coerced sexual conduct against another individual. People convicted of sex crimes, regardless of severity, are considered “sex offenders” and face having their names added to state and federal sex offender registries.

- Child molestation
- Internet sex crimes
- Statutory rape

Many sex offense charges unjustly punish people who are merely accused, long before trial, by unfairly holding such people in custody without the possibility of bond. The person charged with such sex crimes is entitled to a hearing to challenge the validity of the “no bond” status. Despite the law’s guarantee of being “presumed innocent,” the person charged with a serious sex offense will not likely feel like they are “presumed innocent.”
Defending serious sex offense charges will often involve voluntarily submitting to a psycho sexual evaluation with a skilled and experienced psychologist. This long involved psychological testing will also likely involve a polygraph examination. The conclusions of a qualified psychologist writing a psycho sexual evaluation can be an important factor in defending serious sex-related charges.
It is common in a sex offense investigation for the investigating officer to stage a “confrontation call” for the purpose of enticing the person under suspicion to say something that could be construed as exculpatory. As such, a person under investigation for a sex offense should be aware of the possibility of a confrontation call. The right to remain silent ought to be employed at all times by anyone under investigation for any sex crime.
