Sex Crimes
Sex crimes, such as rape charges, indecent exposure, or sexual assault, are a difficult area of the law. While there are people who actually commit these crimes, but there are just as many who are wrongly accused. Due to the nature of the charges, virtually any person can claim that you have committed a sexual offense against them, and the police will automatically believe the accuser.
At the offices of Patrick Artur & Associates, we seek out the truth regarding sex crimes in Pennsylvania. Our Philadelphia sex crime and sexual assault defense attorneys are extremely skilled legal advocates, who know the law and are who are willing to aggressively advocate for people throughout Pennsylvania. Our lawyers successfully defend our clients, and for many, we have been able to reduce, dismiss, and alter the charges levied against many of them, avoiding trial altogether.
The Philadelphia sex crime and sexual assault defense lawyers at Patrick Artur & Associates are familiar with a variety of sexual allegations, and we are experienced in defending people charged with sex crimes such as:

Some sex crimes in Pennsylvania are now mandatory minimum crimes. This essentially means that if there is a finding of guilt for one of these "mando" counts, the judge must send the accused to state prison for a certain number of years.
Punishments for sex-related crimes have increased significantly over the years. Long prison sentences and life-long sex registration requirements are just some of the consequences of being convicted of a sex crime in Pennsylvania.
