North Atlanta, Marietta and Roswell Sexual Assault Attorney
In many ways, being accused of a sex crime is worse than being accused of murder. When you are charged with a sex crime, most people will assume that you are guilty. Even if you avoid prison by pleading guilty to a lesser offense, you may face the consequence of lifetime registration as a sex offender.
My name is Jeffrey S. Williams. I am an attorney who represents people charged with sex crimes in North Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and the surrounding counties in Georgia. I am not here to judge you. I am here to protect your rights and force the state to prove its case against you.
The following are examples of the types of sex crimes I handle:
- Rape: Consent is a defense to rape charges. However, if the alleged victim is under the age of 16, the fact that the sex was consensual is not a defense. You can be charged with statutory rape even if you did not know the other party was under 16.
- Child molestation: An accusation of child molestation can come out of the blue. Once the accusation is made, police will interview the child and can lead the child to say things they didn't intend to say or didn't even know they were saying. The poor application of child interviewing protocols can create a nightmarish scenario in your life. You cannot rectify a charge of child molestation by yourself.
- Child pornography: Simply downloading images from a website can result in a five-year prison sentence in federal and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
- Prostitution: While prostitution charges are not likely to land you in prison or on a sex offender registry, they can have a devastating effect on your reputation and your marriage.
If you are accused of a sex crime, you need to put your case in the hands of an experienced defense lawyer as soon as possible. Do not discuss the charges with police, as you could inadvertently give police the information they need to charge you with a crime.
