In Texas, sex crimes are generally considered the worst of the worst. As such, the State will prosecute you with extreme prejudice, and will seek the maximum prison sentence. The mere accusation of a sex offense can cause your family, friends and co-workers to distance themselves from you. The community may begin treating you differently, and a conviction for certain sex crimes could result in a permanent label of "sex offender". A sex crime conviction is something you cannot afford.
The media loves to run stories on persons accused of sex crimes. Mere accusations alone could very well become the news story your friends, family, and loved ones watch. If you are in this difficult situation, the Law Office of Brock Duke can help. We will aggressively defend you against the media's bias and the State's harmful allegations.
There are numerous criminal offenses that qualify as a "sex crime". Some sex crimes involve unlawful acts that are sexual in nature and committed without the other person’s consent. Other sex crimes are more victimless, but are considered criminal in nature due to the supposed immorality associated with such offenses. An example of this would be prostitution (known as a victim-less crime) or violation of city ordinances at topless dance bars (No touching).

You may also have to register as a "sex offender", which could affect your career, where you live and your livelihood. Being labeled a "sex offender" is a serious penalty, as your information will be posted on a web site that is available for anyone to view.
