Sex crimes can carry an additional
penalty of community notification for life!

** Rape
** Statutory rape
** Sexual assault
** Indecent exposure
** Other sex crimes

Being charged with a sex crime requires effective tough and aggressive representation. In addition to any potential criminal penalties and fines, a conviction can place your identification on the sex crimes registry for life, along with your photo, and subject you to community notification laws associated with its strict burdens. Employment opportunities are seriously hampered and the discrimination that follows is devastating. With a sex crime, more than any other crime, the arrest often does more harm than the actual conviction because of its life-long lasting prejudicial effect.

The issue of consent is always key in cases involving many sex crimes.  In accepting your case, Attorney Steven F. Long will carefully review all aspects of the facts & events that led to your arrest.  At times Mr. Long will employ the services of a private investigator to verify key aspects of the facts, your version of the incident, and discredit the evidence of the prosecution.  The firm can also hire experts to analyze DNA and other forensic evidence to provide the best possible defense.

Just because you are charged does not make you guilty. I have had cases where the alleged victims came forward to me and wrote letters that they were forced to lie for reasons pertaining to child custody battles or grandparent interference.

If you have been charged with a sex crime offense, contact attorney Steven F. Long who is very familiar with the laws and procedures in Alabama and will fight to make sure that your future and reputation are constitutionally protected. Please contact Attorney Steven F. Long by clicking SEXUAL OFFENSES, to discuss any specific and further questions you may have.
