New York Federal Sex Crime Attorney

Federal Sex Crime Cases in New York

Federal sex crime laws address a broad range of acts, including rape, sexual harassment, molestation, and the illegal possession, production or distribution of child pornography. The federal government is also involved in investigating and prosecuting sex crimes that cross state or national boundaries.

Federal sex crimes laws are intended to protect innocent members of society from the violent acts of sexual predators. However, being charged with a federal sex crime in New York carries an immediate punishment in the form of loss of respect and public good will. Without being found guilty of any wrongdoing, a person can be ostracized from their family and community. Even if the charges are dropped or dismissed, the damage is done. Given the seriousness of the charges and the highly polarizing effect they can have, waiting until the charges have been filed can have severe consequences for the accused. This is why it is important to involve a New York federal crime lawyer as early as possible.

If you, or someone you care for, are under investigation for federal sex crimes charges, please contact the nationally respected attorneys of Conaway & Strickler, P.C. Our New York federal criminal defense lawyers have the combination of tenacity and skill to ensure that our clients receive every legal protection entitled to them.

Sex Offender Registration & Federal Sex Crimes

Recent concern over sexual predators' ability to arrange meetings with potential victims via the internet and social networking websites led to the October 2008 passage of the Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators (KIDS) Act ). Under provisions of the KIDS Act, convicted sexual predators are required to provide and update the National Sex Offender Registry with their email accounts, instant messaging addresses and other forms of online identity. Persons found in violation of the act would face up to 10 years in prison. This is required in addition to the normal registration and re-registration requirements for sex offenders.

Getting the services of a New York federal sex crime attorney is the best method of insuring that your rights are upheld. The federal law enforcement agencies that investigate and prosecute sex crimes must act within the law, and an attorney can hold investigating agencies responsible for their actions.
