Allegations of sexual assault can be the most frightening charges an individual can face for many reasons. First, the punishment for sex crimes can be extreme. Punishment for some sex offenses can be as high as life imprisonment and it is not uncommon for convicted sex offenders to receive punishments in excess of twenty years. Not only can the sentences for sex crimes be significantly higher than most other criminal offenses, but conviction often requires a life time requirement of registration as a sex offender.
For the above reasons it is imperative that an individual suspected or charged with a sex offense contact an attorney immediately. Houston Criminal Lawyer John T. Floyd advises, without exception, that an individual questioned by law enforcement regarding allegations of sexual abuse refuse any interviews until the suspect has had an opportunity to discuss the matter fully with an attorney and evaluate the real costs and benefits of cooperation. In no other type of criminal investigation do the extreme feelings of panic and fear, caused by the stigma of the allegations alone, coupled with false promises by law enforcement, cause such a high rate of false confessions. The bottom line is that anyone suspected of a sex crime must refrain from answering any questions by law enforcement until represented by an experienced attorney.
