Internet Sex Crimes Defense Lawyers
Internet luring is the solicitation of a person under the age of 15 over the Internet. Also called enticement, it often involves meeting a minor in a chat room, establishing a relationship over the Internet and then inviting that person to meet.
Challenging Cases Require Experienced Legal Help
Like all Internet sex crimes, luring is a difficult charge to defend. In recent years, many previously successful defenses have been disallowed. For example, since 2007, it no longer matters if the luring occurred under pretense. Still, these charges can be overcome.
At McClintock & McClintock P.C. in Colorado Springs, we aggressively defend clients accused of Internet sex crimes. In luring cases, our attorneys analyze the foundation of the prosecution's case and do everything we can to tear it down.
We make the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person who engaged in luring was actually our client, and that our client was on the computer at the time and place they say he was. In some cases, we bring in computer experts who can question the validity of the government's evidence.
Sowing the Seeds of Doubt
We cannot promise success, but we can promise that we will use our knowledge of the law and our years of experience to sow the seeds of doubt in the minds of the jurors and to minimize the potential negative consequences to you.
In many cases, this may involve negotiating to get the charges reduced or plea arraignment that includes probation instead of incarceration.
Following Clients Through Probation
Probation for online sex crimes is not like probation for other offenses. It can include extremely strict conditions and last for the rest of your life. You may not be able to see your own children or family members. And you will likely have to register as a sex offender.
We work with people on probation to help them successfully complete the program, terminate probation early or withdraw their plea to the probation sentence. We are unaware of any other lawyers who provide these services to clients.
If you have been charged with an Internet sex crime, please contact our office to discuss your case. The initial consultation is free of charge.
