| YOU
NEED
A DEFENSE ATTORNEY
WITH EXPERIENCE
AND DETERMINATION IN DEFENDING
SEX CRIME CASES.
DON'T PROCEED WITHOUT CONSULTING
KENNETH H. LEWIS
Hardly
anything is more devastating then being accused
of, or arrested for a
sex crime! The possibility of imprisonment in
the state prison, or county jail, lifetime registration
as a sex offender, having your picture on the Statewide
Sex Offender Database, and being restricted in where you
can live in relationship to schools and parks, is extraordinarily
punitive. You need an attorney that knows that
your life is at stake, and that of your family,
and is knowledgeable and experienced enough to defend
you with total determination.
Remember,
if you are being investigated for a sex crime,
or have been arrested for a sex crime,
the police are not your friends! You
need an experienced attorney to represent you before you
say anything to the police. Don’t think you can
talk your way out of it – your words will often
be twisted against you and you may actually be helping
to convict yourself. Ken Lewis can help you!

Ken
Lewis has been a criminal defense attorney for over 30
years. He has represented defendants in the famous
NBC Dateline – To Catch
a Predator case where there was an internet sting
and filming of the defendants on national TV. He has successfully
kept the courts and police from taking children away from
people accused of sex crimes, a possible ramification
of even an accusation of child abuse that has not been
proven in court! He has successfully tried cases in California
and Federal Courts. He has both the broad and specialized
experience that allows him to do the very best for his
clients in sex crime cases.
WHAT
EXACTLY ARE SEX CRIMES?
All forms of illegal sexual activities
between adults, between adults and minors, and even between
consenting parties in some cases! They can also include
crimes of sexual solicitation and possession and sale
of child pornography, including that contained on computers.
Examples include:
- Rape,
Statutory Rape,
Date Rape/Spousal Rape
- Indecent
exposure and lewd conduct
- Child
Abuse/Child
Molestation
- Sexual
Battery
- Possession/Sale
of Pornography/Child Pornography
- Solicitation
of sex/sex
with a child
HOW
DO YOU DEFEND AGAINST SEX CRIMES OR ALLEGATIONS?
- A
thorough and complete discussion with the client is
the starting point. Understanding exactly what
happened, and what did not happen, is the key to any
case. Taking the time to speak in detail with
the client, their family if appropriate, and any witnesses
is the most important thing that can be done. It is
amazing the number of attorneys that don’t take
the time to thoroughly understand events at the very
beginning of their representation.
- An investigation
of the scene, the witnesses and any scientific evidence
is critical to a successful defense. Private investigators,
scientists, psychiatrists or psychologists can play
an important role in many cases. Issues of consent,
mistaken identity, lack of physical evidence, lack of
witnesses, biased witnesses and bias police are thoroughly
explored.
- Discussions
with the District Attorney, or police, can sometimes
head off the filing of weak or false charges, or reduce
the “overcharging” of cases.
- Negotiations
with the District Attorney can often reduce felonies
to misdemeanors, or make charges “non-registerable”,
or drastically reduce jail time.
- If
a case goes to trial, preparation, preparation and more
preparation is the key to winning! A combination of
scientific knowledge, witness preparation, legal research,
superior argument, presentation and experience leads
to the successful verdict.
WHAT
ARE THE POSSIBLE PUNISHMENTS FOR SEX CRIMES?
- It depends on whether
it is a felony or misdemeanor.
Felonies can entail state prison, often 6 or more years
for each act, while misdemeanors carry county jail sentence
of up to one year.
- The use
of force, or continuous sexual acts, can carry a life
sentence.
- Most
sex crimes require lifetime registration as
a sex offender with the local police or sheriff’s
department and inclusion on the statewide Sex Offender
Database, as well as restrictions on where you can live.
- You
must surrender samples of your DNA and fingerprints
for inclusion on statewide databases.
- Fines
and fees are imposed, and if appropriate, restitution
to the victim.
