Charged With A Sex Offense In Iowa? Contact Our Defense Attorneys.

Terms like “sex offense” or “sexual assault” are by nature quite abstract. Sex offense charges may encompass a wide spectrum and variety of allegations and criminal matters, including:

  • Stranger rape
  • Date rape
  • College rape cases, often occurring along dark campus pathways, at fraternity events, at drinking parties and in dormitories
  • Unlawful touching
  • Child molestation
  • Child pornography
  • Prostitution

The term “rape” is not included among Iowa statutes, but people generally understand the usual meaning of the word. Even its definition is often up to interpretation. Credibility of complaining witnesses or alleged victims is often an issue in rape or sexual assault cases. Differing versions about what actually happened in a college rape scenario are common.

Accused — Or About To Be Accused? Take Timely Action To Protect Your Rights And Your Reputation.

The one sure thing to know if you have been charged with any type of sex crime is that time is of the essence. The sooner you have an experienced, capable defense attorney on your side, the more options there will be for effective defense strategies and a favorable outcome.
