Sex Offenses In The Buckeye State
Ohio considers the following to be sex crimes:

State prosecutors can be ruthless and unforgiving towards those convicted of sex crimes. Punishments can include a lifetime in prison and registering on the state sex offender list. We understand how high stakes these cases can be, and we can devise a sound legal strategy.
What Should You Do If You Face Sex Offense Accusations?
It’s crucial that you do the following:
- Remain silent: When facing a serious crime like this, it can be tempting to emotionally react to the allegation by denying it or providing an explanation. Doing this is not in your best interests, as authorities can use anything you say against you in court. Wait until you have an attorney present before talking or answering questions from authorities.
- Jot down your recollection of events: If your charge surrounds a single event, try to write down everything you can remember. How you tell your side of the story could be crucial in your case. Include specific details like locations, times, dates and potential witnesses.
- Stay off of social media: Much like speaking publicly about your charges, it’s also crucial to stay off of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok. Prosecutors could use any of your posts, messages or activity online as evidence they could use against you.
