Arrested for Sexual Abuse in Fort Lauderdale?

Talk to a Fort Lauderdale Sex Crime Lawyer

Sexual abuse encompasses a broad range of crimes, and the law discerns these based on the severity of the offense as well as the age of the victim. Sexual abuse of a child may mean molestation, and sexual abuse of an adult could mean rape or another form of forced sexual contact.

What should I do if I have been charged?

These types of cases are always emotionally charged for victims and their families. Jurors also tend to favor the victim’s side when they first learn about the nature of the crime. It is up to the defense team to prove that the evidence in the trial is not strong enough to convict the accused.

Sexual abuse charges may include:

• Sexual assault on a child
• Indecent exposure
• Child pornography exposure
• Soliciting a prostitute
• Forcing someone to engage in prostitution
