Austin Sex Offense Attorneys

Few crimes carry the level of social stigma that is associated with sex offenses. Although those accused are legally innocent until proven otherwise, the sensitive nature of such allegations makes it especially challenging to mount a strong defense. Working with knowledgeable and experienced criminal attorneys is essential to protect the rights of anyone charged with a sex offense. That expertise is offered by the law firm of Minton, Burton, Foster, & Collins, P.C. We have 44 years of experience with criminal defense matters and four of our attorneys have been designated as Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists.

Anyone charged with a sex crime faces the possibility of lengthy prison time and the label of "sex offender." In Texas, adult sex offenders are required to register anywhere from 10 years to life after they are discharged from state supervision. The length of required registration depends on the crime. For example, lifetime registration is required for offenses such as possession of child pornography, prohibited sexual conduct (incest), and sexual assault.

There is a wide variety of criminal offenses that are typically grouped under the category of sex offenses. They include:

Rape (including statutory rape and spousal rape)
Sexual abuse
Child molestation
Indecent exposure
Prostitution
Lewd conduct
Possession of child pornography
Internet sex crimes
Failure to register as a sex offender when required by law
These are all serious crimes. They are also some of the most emotionally charged. As with all legal matters, however, the outcome of the case should be based on facts, evidence, and the law.
