Northern Kentucky Sex Offenses Defense Lawyer

Under the United States Constitution, everyone is entitled to a legal defense, regardless of the type or level of charges brought against you. In addition, you are innocent until proven guilty, meaning the evidence must show beyond a doubt that you committed a crime. At Dickman Law Offices, our Northern Kentucky criminal defense law firm, attorney Paul J. Dickman protects the rights of the accused. By challenging the prosecution, thoroughly investigating the evidence, and presenting a compelling argument to the judge and/or jury on your behalf, he provides the most thorough and effective defense possible. In order to help us prepare the strongest case on your behalf, contact our Covington offices immediately if you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or are a suspect in a criminal case.

Under Kentucky law, sex offenses can be charged at different felony or misdemeanor levels – with the distinction between different levels of charges relying entirely on intent. If a sex crime charge is not handled correctly, the accused may face prison time and lifelong consequences, including listings on the Kentucky and national sexual predator registries, available with photos on the internet.

Do not risk prison, your reputation, or your future – if you have been charged with a sex offense contact our Covington, Kentucky, law firm for a free consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

Attorney Paul J. Dickman provides expert legal defense against sex crime charges. He will challenge both the level of the offense, and the evidence against you, while presenting a compelling argument to the judge or jury on your behalf.

Rape: When a client is accused of rape, including date rape, marital rape, or rape in the 3rd degree, the issue investigated most closely is lack of consent to sexual relations by the alleged victim. Rape of a person under sixteen years old, or a person who is incapacitated, is automatically charged as a class-B or class-A felony. When evidence against our client is weak or missing, our attorney will demand the prosecutor reduce the level of charges or dismiss them altogether.

Sexual abuse and sexual misconduct: A broad range of lower-level felony and misdemeanor offenses are included in the categories of sexual abuse and misconduct. These offenses include unwanted touching, indecent exposure, non-consensual kissing, statutory rape, and public indecency. These charges can be reduced or dismissed when a lawyer pushes the prosecutor to show evidence of the abuse or misconduct.

Sexual assault and other sexual offenses: Child abuse, internet luring, lewd conduct, sodomy, prostitution, internet solicitation, and obscenity are some of the other sex crimes that require an expert, professional defense.
