Defending People Accused of Sex Crimes in North Carolina
If you have been charged with a sex crime in North Carolina, you probably already know the serious consequences allegations can have. In addition to possible jail time, people often face a social stigma related to sex crimes. They face trouble with their families, friends and neighbors. And their jobs may be at risk. Also, in many cases, required registration with the Sheriff's office may be involved.
It is best to work with an experienced attorney to help achieve the best possible results. At the DeCurtins Law Firm, in Charlotte, I use more than 25 years of experience to defend people accused of a wide range of sex crimes in North Carolina:
- Solicitation for prostitution
- Procuring for prostitution
- Sexual battery
- Loitering for prostitution
- Maintaining a place of prostitution/running an escort service
- Indecent exposure
- Secret peeping
- Taking indecent liberties with a minor
- Crimes against nature
Prostitution-Related Cases
In the Charlotte area, female police officers frequently work undercover to catch people allegedly soliciting prostitution. Many men charged with prostitution-related offenses were charged with the sex crime after having a conversation with an undercover officer. I understand the serious effects these charges can have on the lives of my clients, so I work hard to help them minimize the potential consequences.
My Work on High-Profile Sex Crime Cases
In my work as a criminal defense lawyer, I have represented both male and female teachers who were accused of having intercourse with students. One of these was among the first cases in the county under a new statute that forbids sexual relations between a teacher and current student. The case involving a female teacher received national attention. I was solicited by high-profile television shows like Entertainment Tonight and 20/20 to discuss the case, but my first priority was my client's privacy. Working closely with the teacher, I successfully kept my client out of prison.
