Sexual Offenses
There are many different kinds of sexual offenses in the Texas Penal Code. Being
falsely accused of any of them can be terrifying, especially if a child makes the
accusation. Sexual offenses, and especially those involving children, are generally
considered among the most heinous crimes by society and by the criminal justice
system. Law enforcement agencies, Child Protective Services (CPS), District Attorney’s
offices generally err on the side of caution when deciding whether to file a sexual
assault case. In other words, if there is any likelihood that the allegation might
be true the case will likely be taken to the Grand Jury for an indictment.
If you learn that you are being investigated for a sexual assault, don’t simply
wait to see what happens or hope that it will go away! Let the attorneys of the
Lucio Firm help you take the offensive. We can make a presentation for the Grand
Jury outlining the reasons why the accusation isn’t true. If successful, we can
prevent the Grand Jury from returning an indictment and make it unnecessary for
you to ever appear in court and fight an uphill battle against a false allegation.
Likewise, if you are facing any other type of sexual offense, we advise you to seek
qualified legal representation. We have found that, when facing sexual charges,
our clients’ presumption of innocence is often practically ignored. You may quickly
find yourself in a situation that it seems the burden is on you to prove your innocence,
rather than the other way around. Let the attorneys of the Lucio Firm help you fight
back. We will help you clear your name, avoid sex offender registration, and get
through what may be the most challenging experience of your life.
