Navigating Your Case

If you have been approached or arrested by police because you are suspected of a sex crime, it is highly advised that you exercise your right to remain silent. It's normal to be appalled or frightened by the accusation and want to explain your side of the story. This rarely goes well and, in fact, many people end up giving unnecessary statements that only help prosecutors later reach a conviction.

At Patituce & Associates, our Toledo sex crime lawyers advise that you consult with us before giving a formal statement to police. We can also help you understand the gravity of what you are facing. Sex crime allegations are serious and can result in life-long consequences.

A conviction of a sex crime can result in:

• Jail or prison time
• Fines
• Lifetime sex offender registration
