Miami Sex Crimes Attorney
Sex crimes are taken seriously in Florida and often looked at with scorn. They are not looked at as favorable. Even those simply accused of sex crimes may be called horrible names such as “predator” or “pervert,” especially if a minor was involved.
These crimes may be charged at the state or federal level. They may be misdemeanors or felonies. Punishment may include fines, jail time, sex offender registration, and more.
Being charged with a sex crime is hard to overcome. You will need a strong defense to overcome the charges as well as the stigma involved. A Miami sex crimes attorney from Asilia Law Firm will help you defend your constitutional rights.
Types of Sex Crimes

- Unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, and against the person’s will or without their consent.
- Statutory rape. Sexual intercourse with a minor, even if the minor consents, when the age difference between the individuals involved violates the law. The legal age of consent varies by jurisdiction.
