Defending Georgians Against Sex Offense Charges

At Crosby Law, we have more than 25 years of experience dealing with sex offense charges. Our founding attorney, Matt Crosby, served as an assistant district attorney before starting his law practice defending those accused of sex offenses. We understand the devastating effects that even an accusation of a sex offense can have. Because the court of public opinion is against you from the outset, it’s important to hire an attorney as soon as possible.

Sex offenses in Georgia carry some of the toughest penalties in the country. Sentences include large fines and time behind bars often measured out in decades with the possibility of life in prison. Most sentences also include placement on Georgia’s sex offender registry, which affects your ability to work, travel and qualify for housing. With stakes this high, you don’t want to waste any time getting started on your defense. Call us now at 678-981-7184 to discuss your charges.

A Calm, Focused Approach To Defending The Accused

Charges of sex offenses are both legally and emotionally complicated. We bring a steady hand and a sharp focus on the facts of the case. By approaching the situation with an unbiased eye, we cut through the raw emotions and identify facts to build a solid defense strategy. Our goal is twofold: to eliminate or reduce the charges against you and to minimize the impact on your life and the lives of those around you.

Sex offense charges we regularly defend include:

• Rape
• Statutory rape
• Child molestation
• Aggravated sodomy
• Sexual battery
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
• Solicitation of prostitution

Georgia’s Sex Offender Registration

If you are found guilty of a sex offense in Georgia, your name will likely be added to the state’s sex offender registry. Once you are added to the registry, you may carry the label of “sex offender” for the rest of your life and will be required to keep the state informed about where you are living and working. This label puts restrictions on where you can live, where you can work and where you can travel. It also prohibits you from taking part in activities involving children, including your own kid’s school functions.

We understand the devastating impact being labeled as a sex offender can have on your life and the lives of your family members. That is why it is so critical to contact us as soon as possible so we can do everything possible to keep this from happening to you.

Building A Defense Against Solicitation Charges In Georgia

If you are accused of soliciting prostitution, also referred to as “pandering” under state law, you may face serious criminal consequences. The details of the case can affect the charges and possible penalties. If you are facing a solicitation charge, it may be helpful to speak with an experienced defense attorney as soon as possible. They can help you understand your charges and the legal options available to you.

A solicitation allegation may involve claims that you offered, requested or agreed to exchange something of value for sexual services. Evidence may include text messages, other communications, undercover operations or witness statements. Your defense team can review how the investigation began and whether the evidence supports the allegations against you.

What Can Affect Your Solicitation Defense?

The defense will depend on the facts of the case. An attorney may also examine what happened before the alleged conduct and whether those events could affect the case. During the defense, your lawyer may review:

• How police investigated the allegations
• Text messages, phone records and other communications
• Statements you or others made during the investigation
• Whether an undercover officer was involved
• What the prosecution must prove to convict you
• Whether the evidence supports the prosecution’s claims

The prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Your defense team can review the evidence for gaps, contradictions or other problems that may weaken the case. A lawyer can also find other issues that could affect the outcome of your case. Starting your defense early gives your team more time to review the evidence, assess your options and prepare a strategy.
