Investigating Sex Crime Charges – The First Steps We Take in Defending Our Clients

My partner or I do the initial investigation into the criminal charges. This is an important first step in the legal process of defending a person that’s saddled with sexual offense charges.

We avoid using a private investigator at the start of a new sex offense case because they don’t have a stake in the case. Also, we need to know as much as possible about the situation and the people involved.

The faster we move on sex crime cases, the better off our client will be because once the investigation starts, it can quickly get out of control.

Our main objective is to provide the kind of legal representation that appeals to our client’s best interests. So, there’s no time to waste when doing the hard work required to provide the best defense possible to our clients.

If a child is the alleged victim of any form of sexual abuse, the caseworkers at the Children’s Assessment Center (CAC) or individuals with Child Protective Services (CPS) will get a headstart working with the child to get the sex crime allegations firmly indoctrinated and imprinted in their minds. Such witness tampering could be detrimental to the defendant’s case.

Some investigators have even told me, “Jack, I have my doubts about this allegation, but I can’t dismiss it; I think we will have to let the lawyers figure this one out.”

What the investigator is really telling me is, ‘bring me something, give me a reason to dismiss this case; I’ll get in trouble with my supervisors if I don’t have anything more than a gut instinct that this allegation is false.’

If you say to us that you’re innocent, then the ball is in the prosecutor’s court, they can dismiss it, or we can go to trial.

Regardless of the type of sex crime you or a loved one were accused of, the best decision you can make is to establish an attorney-client relationship with a qualified criminal defense attorney like Jack B. Carroll or Phil Stephenson as soon as possible. If you or someone you care about is charged with a sex crime and subsequently convicted, it could mean a lifetime requirement as a registered sex offender. If you’re subject to lifetime registration as a sex offender, you’ll be included in the Texas sex offender registry and one of the first suspects if a crime involving a sex act occurs anywhere near your job or residence.

The Texas Sex Offender Registration Program and others like it are one of the clever ways in which states have sought to continue to punish alleged sexual offenders long after they’ve paid their debt to society. As an experienced Houston sex crimes lawyer, I can tell you that false allegations are not uncommon. Unfortunately, many people have failed to hire competent legal counsel that could find reasonable doubt in their case. Thus, many innocent men & women are serving jail time as a result of a sex crime conviction in Houston Texas.

If you were charged with a sex crime, accused, or think you may be subjected to false allegations of a sex crime, it’ll be a good idea to contact a strong defense attorney as soon as possible to ensure the best possible outcome for your case. Jack B. Carroll & Associates provides legal representation for alleged sexual offenders charged under federal law in federal courts & Texas criminal law.
