Portage Michigan Criminal Sexual Conduct Charge
If someone has accused you of a sex crime, your future is on the line. In many cases, once an allegation is made, the police will investigate and go to work to build a case against you, regardless of your statements of innocence.
At the law firm of Peter A. D' Angelo, PLC, we are here to stand between you and the police at the time you need it the most. From our office in Portage, our lawyers defend people in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and other communities throughout Western Michigan who are charged with sex crimes such as:
- Child molestation
- Rape
- Possession and distribution of child pornography
- Prostitution
- Indecent exposure
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Why You Should Not Talk to Police
If the police begin an investigation against you, you are up against the state and its investigators. They have more skills and experience than you do. In asking questions, the police have one central goal: to have you make a statement that can be used against you in the future.
The consequences of a sex crime conviction can be devastating: damage to your reputation, loss of employment, loss of your family, and incarceration. Even if you receive probation, you could face registration as a sex offender. For this reason, you should never plead guilty to any sex crime before you talk to an experienced defense attorney.
You have a right to remain silent, and there is no more important time to exercise that right than when you are initially charged with a sex crime. The truth is something that will come out later, in negotiations between your lawyer and the prosecutor, or in court.
