Kansas Sex Crime Lawyer
Few criminal accusations are as devastating as sex-crime charges. You face the loss of your reputation, your freedom, and even your family. A conviction for a sex crime can also mean lifelong registration as a sex offender. If you have been charged with a sex crime, consultation with an attorney as soon as possible will help you understand the consequences of the offense.
I am Jackie Rokusek, a criminal defense lawyer who represents people charged with sex crimes in the Kansas City area, including federal courts in Kansas and Missouri and District Courts in Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami, Douglas, and Wyandotte County. I represent people who face all kinds of sex crimes, including:
- Statutory rape
- Possession of child pornography
- Distribution of child pornography
- Internet sex-crime charges
- Sexual assault
- Child molestation
- Solicitation of a minor
As a former prosecutor for Johnson County who has conducted numerous criminal trials, I know how these cases are handled by prosecutors. These cases often hinge on DNA evidence or on the testimony of the victim. In child pornography cases, the legality of the police search and seizure needs to be investigated.
In all sex-crime cases, it is important not try to talk to prosecutors before you have evaluated the evidence against you. An experienced criminal lawyer can assess the strength of the prosecution's case and work for dismissal or acquittal. By talking to police, you could actually eliminate certain defenses that a lawyer could use to your advantage.
If there is a defense in your sex crime case, I will find it. I would never encourage a client to plead guilty on a sex crime when there is an opportunity for a dismissal or an acquittal.
Your defense is too important to be left to an inexperienced lawyer. Contact me, criminal trial attorney Jackie Rokusek, for a free consultation if you have been or expect to be charged with a sex crime in the Kansas City area.
