Child Sex Crimes

Playing on societal outrage, legislators and prosecutors have drastically stepped up enforcement and penalties for sex crimes involving children. You need an attorney who can mount a credible defense for any child sexual offense, including:

• Aggravated sexual assault of a child (actual sexual penetration)
• Indecency with a child (fondling, touching over the clothes)
• Indecency with a child by exposure (exposing one's genitals)
• Internet child pornography (possession or distribution)
• Solicitation of a minor for sex (e.g., through an online chat room)

Sexual Assault and Statutory Rape

Any rape charge carries potentially harsh penalties as well as a social stigma that can prevent you from living a normal life. Contact Joe D. Gonzales immediately to safeguard your rights if you have been arrested or questioned regarding:

• Sexual assault/aggravated sexual assault
• Spousal rape
• Acquaintance rape or date rape
• Statutory rape
• Juvenile sexual offenses

Mr. Gonzales represents first-time offenders, repeat offenders, persons accused of first-degree or second-degree offenses with enhanced penalties, and persons having problems with the Texas Sex Offender Registry. He is adept at developing defenses in child sexual assault and Internet sex crime cases, such as entrapment, mistaken identity, stolen identity, or motives of the alleged victim to make false accusations.

Many sex crimes lack physical evidence and come down to "he said/she said." It is often necessary to go to trial to defend against the charges. Joe D. Gonzales has been involved in more than 200 bench and jury trials in 18 years, including many sex crime cases in state and federal courts.

Sex Offender Registry

Conviction for certain crimes requires registering as a sex offender, sometimes including publishing your name and picture. If your case is not handled properly, you may be subject to sex offender registration for the rest of your life. Failure to register is a felony carrying up to two years in jail. Mr. Gonzales works to avoid the highest classification or avoid registration all together.
