Process of Investigating a Sex Crime Allegation

Different kinds of sex crimes involve different kinds of evidence. In cases involving rape and sexual assault, investigators may rely on blood and DNA samples, as well as hair and fiber analysis. For child pornography and online solicitation of minor cases, authorities seize computer hard drives to inspect a suspect's email and online activity. Since each type of evidence and case presents its own kind of legal and forensic challenges, it's important to work with attorneys who have the experience and resources needed to represent all kinds of cases. As former prosecutors, our Irvine criminal defense lawyers understand how sex crime cases are handled by police and investigators. We know how to identify faulty police work, improper searches and seizures, mishandling of DNA and blood evidence, and unreliable witness testimony.

Facing Sex Crimes Charges

If you or a loved one is facing sex crime charges, our firm will be behind you 100 percent from the very start. We can help you locate case information online from the Orange County Superior Court and can also help you find inmate information online from the Orange County Jail.

Our Orange County criminal defense lawyers counsel and represent clients charged with the following:

Dealing with Forensic Evidence

Sex crimes cases can be particularly difficult to prosecute because eyewitness testimony isn't always available. As a result, forensic evidence is used to establish contact between the victim and the suspect.

Forensic evidence can include:

  • Blood
  • Semen
  • Hair
  • Saliva
  • Cell phones
  • Computer hard drives
  • Digital cameras

When dealing with such evidence, we consult experienced forensic scientists, criminologist, psychologists and other related experts to give an independent analysis of the evidence.

Understanding the Issues of Internet Sex Crimes

Internet sex crimes also involve a number of issues regarding the nature of the evidence involved and the circumstances surrounding an alleged criminal violation of the law. Intentionally soliciting child pornography is different from visiting a legal adult website and inadvertently clicking on a link that takes you to illegal content. Likewise, sending illegal pictures over the internet is different from receiving illegal content in an unsolicited email. Additionally, in cases involving online solicitation of a minor, a careful analysis of what was said in a chat-room is essential.

At the Law Office of Pilchman & Kay, A Professional Law Corporation, we challenge the evidence involved in computer-related sex crimes by raising questions of intent, whether or not certain content can be considered obscene, and whether or not our client's Constitutional rights were violated during an investigation. We propose alternative interpretations of our client's behavior, putting the prosecution's case on trial.
