Being charged with a sex crime in California is one of the most serious and life-altering events a person can face. From the moment of accusation, your freedom, future, and reputation are all at risk. At LibertyBell Law Group, our seasoned criminal defense lawyers have successfully defended countless clients by crafting powerful, fact-based strategies that challenge the prosecution at every turn.
Understanding the Stakes
Sex crimes carry harsh penalties in California. A conviction can mean prison time, mandatory sex offender registration, loss of employment, and even family separation. That’s why early legal intervention is essential. Every statement, piece of evidence, or delay can impact your outcome.
Common Charges We Defend
- Sexual battery
- Rape and date rape
- Lewd acts with a minor
- Possession or distribution of child pornography
- Internet solicitation
- Failure to register as a sex offender
Key Legal Defenses
1. False Allegations
We uncover the motive behind a false claim—revenge, custody battles, mental instability, or manipulation—and expose inconsistencies in the accuser’s story. We use private investigators and forensic tools to reveal the truth.
2. Consent
In many cases, the sexual act occurred, but was consensual. We present evidence such as messages, videos, or witness testimony to show the encounter was mutual and that no force, coercion, or incapacity was involved.
3. Mistaken Identity
Eyewitness error, photo lineups, or flawed identifications can lead to wrongful accusations. We challenge police procedures and show how faulty memory or bias can result in the wrong person being charged.
4. Illegal Search and Seizure
If law enforcement violated your rights during an arrest, interrogation, or digital search, we file motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence—sometimes resulting in dismissal of charges altogether.
5. Lack of Evidence
Sex crimes often rely on the accuser’s word alone. We challenge the credibility of the accusation, highlight the lack of physical evidence, and demonstrate reasonable doubt to judges and juries.
Expert Witnesses & Technology
We work with medical professionals, psychologists, forensic experts, and digital analysts to strengthen your defense. These experts can refute prosecution claims, support your version of events, and educate the court on the facts behind the accusations.
Pretrial Strategies to Avoid Charges
We act quickly to intervene before charges are filed. By presenting exculpatory evidence and negotiating with prosecutors early, we’ve stopped many cases from ever reaching court. The sooner we begin, the better the odds of preventing a formal case.
Protecting Your Future
Every case is unique. That’s why we build personalized defense plans that reflect your background, the facts of the incident, and your long-term goals. Whether through dismissal, trial victory, or charge reduction, our mission is to preserve your freedom and dignity.
