CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT ATTORNEY
What is a criminal sexual conduct?
The vast majority of sex crimes in the State of Michigan are categorized under the term “Criminal Sexual Conduct” or CSC. Crimes under the umbrella of CSC include rape, statutory rape, or any unconsented touching or sexual contact. Without a doubt, being accused of criminal sexual conduct can be a harrowing experience. Being charged with a crime like this is an attempt by a prosecutor to forever label the accused as a sex offender.
There really aren’t many worse things in this world to be accused of than a sex crime. It is also startling to see how little evidence is needed to proceed forward on charges of this magnitude. So many times, the only evidence against someone accused of a sex crime is simply someone’s word. The infamous “he said, she said” type of sex crime cases are all too common, and even more troubling is how many people are convicted on weak evidence, leaving the future of their lives forever altered and likely irreparable.
If you are being investigated for a sexual assault it is important to know that police, prosecutors, and judges do not take these cases lightly. These people are not your friends and speaking to investigators without an attorney present can have disastrous consequences.
FAQs
THE ZEINEH LAW DIFFERENCE
A criminal sexual conduct charge requires a prosecutor to show that you intended to commit or did commit a sexual act on another without legal consent. Was there a genuine, honest mistake in what was going on? Are you able to explain that even though things appear a certain way, there was nothing illegal going on? In order to present your best defense, your attorney has to be able to answer these questions. The only way to answer these and other necessary questions is for your defense to conduct its own investigation. Just as the prosecutor builds a case against you with their resources, you are able to build your defense in the same way.
At Zeineh Law, we pride ourselves on not limiting your defense to simply be trying to explain the prosecutor’s version of events. We defend cases by going on offense, by advancing your version of events based on our in-depth investigations.
