Sex Crimes Information

Maryland Sex Crimes Defense Lawyers

Political pressure and genuine public distaste has made sex crimes some of the most serious and highly penalized crimes in the United States. Maryland law allows life sentences for certain types of sex-related convictions, and many others carry sentences of decades in prison. Even misdemeanor violations could result in some imprisonment. People charged with most sex crimes are also subject to onerous sex offender registration requirements, which can follow them for the rest of their lives. Because these requirements trigger every time you move, they can be especially devastating for homeless or low-income people. And merely being accused of a sex crime carries serious financial and personal costs: A lost job, trouble finding new work, a marriage in crisis and disappearing friends.

If you’ve been accused of a sex crime, you still have rights. The Bethesda sex offense defense attorneys at Meng & Alpert, LLC believe that everyone, no matter what the accusation, has the right to a vigorous and complete defense. We defend people accused of all types of sex-related crimes in Maryland, including:

• First-degree rape and sexual assault
• Statutory rape
• Sexual abuse of a minor
• Date rape
• Child pornography charges
• Indecency and obscenity
• Sex offender registration violations

If you’ve been accused of a sex crime, drop everything and call Meng & Alpert, LLC before you talk to the police. The consequences of a criminal conviction for a sex crime are very serious; even an honest mistake could land you in prison and require you to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. That’s in addition to any negative consequences at work, in family court and in other states, some of which have additional sex offender requirements. And law enforcement officers are generally not interested in explanations from the accused, no matter how reasonable they might be. Protect yourself by politely declining to talk without an attorney from Meng & Alpert, LLC by your side. As former prosecutors, we know how law enforcement builds its case and the common mistakes it can make. We can help you protect your rights, reduce or drop your charges and fight for you in a court of law.

The attorneys at Meng & Alpert, LLC have defended people against criminal charges in Maryland for more than 30 years. We have extensive experience -- from both sides of the table -- in criminal law, and we understand the steps the other side must take to build a case. We can use that knowledge to deconstruct the case against you and look for factual or procedural flaws that can set you free or significantly reduce your penalties. And we always offer free case evaluations to potential clients. To speak confidentially with an experienced legal professional about your sex-related criminal case, call Meng & Alpert, LLC today at 1-866-444-6363 or fill out our confidential online case evaluation form.
