Cincinnati Sex Crimes Lawyers
Aggressive Legal Defense of Sex Crimes Accusations
Sex crimes accusations can have an irrevocable effect on the life and reputation of the accused — regardless of whether the charges are ever proved in court. If you are under investigation or have been arrested on any type of sex crimes criminal charge, you deserve a dedicated advocate on your side as soon as possible — a trained and experienced criminal defense lawyer who will waste no time getting to work building a defense on your behalf.
Located in Covington, Kentucky, the law firm of Fox & Scott, PLLC has made its mark in the local community as a highly professional criminal defense law firm that provides smart and aggressive defense on behalf of individuals accused of sex crimes, including rape and sexual assault. Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Avoid Conviction as a Sex Offender
When we represent clients accused of sex crimes, our first priority is always to preserve our clients' freedom and protect their constitutional rights throughout the investigation. We will be your spokesperson and guide during police interviews, polygraph exams, and any necessary medical exams or DNA testing.
Depending on the facts of your particular case, we will give you our honest and straightforward evaluation of your legal options — including arguing for a dismissal based on lack of evidence, negotiating for a guilty plea to a lesser offense, or fighting for a not-guilty verdict at a trial.
In many sex crimes cases, we have avoided charges being filed at all by getting involved early and intervening with the police. Many sex crimes cases are won or lost from the very first interview. Exercise your Fifth Amendment right and be sure to have an attorney present.
We use all possible strategies aimed at preventing a conviction in sex crimes cases. Convictions are especially harsh on defendants because — in addition to possible jail time — sex crimes offenders will be required to register with the state's sex offender registry, a publicly accessible database, and may be acquired to abide by residency restrictions.
Registration and public labeling as a convicted sex crimes offender can impact where you are legally able to live, as well as your ability to find work.
Fox & Scott, PLLC is currently involved in a case challenging the constitutionality of Kentucky's sex offender registry law. The lawsuit, Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Baker, argues that Kentucky's sex offender registry law is unconstitutional because of the excessive restrictions it places on where registered offenders may live.
