2 - What’s the very first thing I should do if I’ve been charged with a sexual offense in Arizona?
If you have been charged with a sex crime, the very first thing you need to do is contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who specializes in sex crimes. Sex crimes are highly technical in nature and often involve legal nuances not seen in more straightforward criminal cases. For example, a sexual offense against a child may include DNA experts, behavioral health experts, victimology experts, recantation experts, piecemeal disclosure experts, psychosexual experts and much more. If your case involves a sex crime, it is very important to retain a qualified criminal defense attorney to deal with this highly specialized area of the law. Because Arizona sex crimes involve not only a thorough knowledge of criminal law, but also specialized training in victim psychology, it’s important to retain an attorney with the requisite experience in sex crimes.
