An Overview of Sex Crimes

Kansas City Sex Crimes Defense Attorneys

In today's social and political climate, calls for increasingly tougher sex offender punishments are everywhere. This has caused a reaction among state and federal legislators from across the country and the enactment of laws that carry excessive mandatory punishments regardless of the circumstances involved. In May of 2006, the Kansas Legislature passed its version of Jessica's Law—a law that imposes a mandatory 25-year, no-parole sentence on first-time offenses that involve children less than fourteen years of age.

Because of this, and because the mere allegation of sexual misconduct can be enough for even friends, co-workers, and acquaintances to mentally convict a person, a strong and proactive defense is demanded as well.

What do you do and who can you turn to for help if you have been charged with sexual abuse or a sexual assault?

The Swain Law Office offers you a place to turn for experienced, aggressive criminal defense against sex crimes of all types. As a firm, we do not limit the help we offer to people in Lawrence or the Kansas City metropolitan area; our practice covers the entire state of Kansas and it covers charges involving everything from sex crimes against children to kidnapping and rape.

What many people fail to recognize is that there are many reasons for being charged with a sex crime besides being guilty of one. Our law office understands this fact because we have seen these reasons firsthand in many of our clients' cases. It is also important to recognize that even if you are guilty of the crimes you have been accused of, the prosecution still has to prove that fact beyond a reasonable doubt, and you do still have Constitutional rights that must be protected.

We can help.
