Defense Strategies We May Employ in Your Sex Crime Case
Our aggravated sexual assault lawyer in Houston will work to build a strong defense against your criminal charge. Some of the defense strategies we can use against sexual assault crimes include:
- False accusations: Many sexual assault cases are brought based on false accusations. We systematically dismantle any witness statements to expose the lies
- Alibi: We can collect evidence, like witness statements, phone records, photos, and video footage to prove you were not present at the scene of the accident when it occurred. If you were not there, you could not have committed the crime.
- Mistaken identity: We will fight to prove that you were misidentified as the sexual offender using DNA evidence, cell phone records, surveillance footage, and more.
Once Jay learns about the details of your case, he can provide more information about potential defenses against your charges. We could use another defense strategy, such as false allegations, depending on your case details.
