Understanding Sex Crime Charges In Nebraska

A sex crime charge is not the end of your story. These charges are incredibly complex. We provide clear counsel to help you understand your situation. Common types of charges and their penalties include:

Sexual assault: Charges range from misdemeanor to felony. Penalties can include decades in prison. Registration as a sex offender is required.
Sexual abuse of a minor: This is a very serious felony charge. It carries severe prison sentences and mandatory lifetime sex offender registration.
Child pornography: Possession or distribution is a felony; they are sometimes even a federal crime. Penalties involve mandatory minimum prison terms, plus registration as a sex offender.
Failure to register: This charge applies if you do not follow sex offender registration rules. It can send you back to prison.

We challenge every part of the prosecution’s case. This includes defending you at trial, if need be.

What Is The Process For Defending Against Sex Crimes?

Our strategy is built on thorough preparation. Our defense process involves several critical steps:

Investigating: We launch a prompt investigation to review police reports, interview witnesses, gather evidence, and discuss whether we should hire investigators to interview others.
Challenging the evidence: We analyze the prosecution’s case for weaknesses. This could include questioning search procedures, challenging witness credibility, and looking for constitutional rights violations.
Filing pretrial motions: We submit motions to exclude certain evidence, or have charges dismissed or reduced.
Negotiating with prosecutors: We engage in direct, strong negotiation for reduced charges or sentences. We look for alternatives to trial when it is in your best interest.
Trial defense: We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Our goal is acquittal. If necessary, we present a powerful defense in the courtroom.

We commit to a full and complete legal defense. Our attorneys keep you informed about every development so you will always know your options. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this fight.

The Importance Of A Defense Attorney

The moment you’re taken in for questioning, you need to begin your defense. The best way to begin is by heeding your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and exercising your Sixth Amendment right to be represented by a criminal defense attorney. Don’t answer questions until you’ve contacted us, and we can advise and represent you.
