Sexual Assault: Defending Against Serious Allegations
Sexual assault charges in Tennessee can range from unwanted touching to rape. Depending on the circumstances, these offenses may be classified as Class B or Class A felonies, carrying sentences of eight to 60 years in prison. Recent changes to Tennessee law have expanded the definition of aggravated rape and increased penalties for offenses involving minors or bodily harm.
Defending against sexual assault requires a deep understanding of the law and a careful review of the facts. Common defenses include consent, mistaken identity and lack of evidence. These cases often hinge on witness credibility, forensic evidence and the interpretation of evidence.
We approach sexual assault defense with care and precision. Our team works to uncover inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case, challenge unreliable testimony, and present a clear, compelling defense.
Internet Sex Crimes: Refuting Complex Digital Allegations
Internet sex crimes are increasingly common. They often involve allegations such as:
- Solicitation
- Child pornography
- Online enticement
These cases are highly technical and rely on digital evidence – chat logs, metadata, IP addresses and forensic analysis of devices. Tennessee law has recently expanded its scope to include AI-generated child pornography, treating it with the same severity as traditional offenses.
Being accused of an internet sex crime can lead to felony charges, mandatory sex offender registration, and long-term restrictions on where you can live, work and travel.
We understand the complexity of defending against internet sex crimes. We’ll build a strong sex crimes defense tailored to your case. Our team works with digital experts to analyze evidence, identify flaws in the investigation and find other ways to challenge the prosecution.
