Sex Crimes in New York
If you’ve been indicted, arrested, or the police “want to talk to you” in connection with an alleged sex offense, you need a criminal defense attorney who will paint a new picture in your favor. You need an attorney who won’t — like the cops and the DAs — jump to conclusions once they hear the word “rape.”
At Cozzo Law we know that there are two sides to every story. Nowhere is this more true than in cases where someone is alleging sexual misconduct against you.
Therefore, we will listen to you without judging you. If the victim is “lying” we will expose it immediately to the DA’s Office whether pre-trial or at trial.
In New York, sex crimes cover everything from having sex with a minor, forcible touching, texting lewd pictures to a minor, to downloading child pornography. Sex crimes can draw extremely serious penalties. Those convicted face long prison terms and lengthy probations. Many are labeled sex offenders, which can have a dramatic effect on the rest of your life.
