Sex offenses are often the most aggressively prosecuted by the DA and are assigned to the most experienced prosecutors.

In order to have the strongest possible defense in your case, it is important that your attorney conducts a thorough investigation, examining all witnesses, the alleged victims, and family members in order to provide the most complete picture possible.
Being charged with any sex-related criminal offense is extremely serious and can have extreme ramifications on a person’s life, including a lengthy state prison or jail sentence, lifetime sex offender registration, and harm to a person’s family, friends and loved ones.
However, false allegations in sex crime cases are not uncommon. It is therefore essential in any sex crime case to conduct a highly detailed investigation, including, but not limited to, interviewing any and all potential victims and witnesses (including multiple interviews in many cases), examining the relationship between the defendant and the alleged victim and his or her family, looking for a motive for the victim to falsify his or her allegations, and examining the alleged victim’s sexual history and credibility.
If you or a loved one has been charged with any sex offense, contact a Van Nuys criminal attorney from the Law Offices of Mark Daniel Melnick today at (818) 981-9777.
