Sex Crimes and Sexual Assault
Sex crime cases are unique because of how often prosecutors will bring charges even when the allegations are completely uncorroborated by any further evidence. This reality can leave the accused feeling helpless and victimized, especially where the public so often assumes guilt based on just the allegation. Because false allegations are the number one cause of wrongful convictions in these cases, we believe the best defense is a good offense: we critically examine every witness against our clients.
Often times, the accuser has been shown to have made false statements in the past. Interviews of alleged victims can often times be leading and bias thereby resulting in false allegations by an officer hungry for a charge at any cost. Police and prosecutors may compound these problems by ignoring inconsistent and uncorroborated statements made by an accuser.
Having handled numerous high profile sexual assault cases, Angus knows exactly how the police and prosecutors work together to investigate and prosecute those who have been accused. He also knows how to identify the weak points in allegations, investigations, and prosecutions.
A proper defense of sex crime charges will at a minimum include the comprehensive review of:
- 1. The prosecutor’s evidence
- 2. The police officer’s interview and investigative tactics
- 3. The police officer’s disciplinary background and training deficiencies
- 4. The accuser’s background and motive
- 5. The accuser’s background of dishonesty in other cases or other instances
The penalties for a conviction of even a low level sexual assault crime are life shattering and include: prison sentence, public sex offender registration, loss of gun rights, and loss of voter rights.
