A Trial Attorney To Defend Your Name
Public sentiment against sex crimes and those who are charged with them have led to aggressive prosecution of these crimes and harsh penalties if convicted. In some ways, the mere accusation of committing a sex crime is penalty enough, as it is difficult to regain your integrity even if the charges are dismissed or prosecutors are unable to convict you.
It is critical to enlist the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney if you face a sex crime charge in northern Mississippi. My firm, M. Darin Vance, Attorney at Law, has successfully defended clients from my Hernando office against charges of statutory rape, sexual assault and other sex crimes.
Defenses In Sex Crime Cases
Similar to assault accusations, a sex crime charge can result when an alleged victim overstates the facts of what actually occurred. I will conduct a thorough investigation of witnesses to determine if there are inconsistencies in the story that was provided to law enforcement authorities.
I am a trial-tested lawyer who prepares every case meticulously and is always ready to go to trial if the facts of a case warrant doing so. In other instances, a successful outcome may involve negotiating a plea agreement to reduced charges. A key goal in sex crime cases is to keep a conviction off your record, so you do not face lifetime registration as a sex offender on a national database.
I represent clients in DeSoto County and throughout northern Mississippi in a wide range of sex crime cases, including:
- Rape
- Statutory rape
- Sexual assault
- Sexual battery
- Child pornography
- Child molestation
- Prostitution or solicitation
