Sex crimes are punished severely under Indiana law. In addition to large fines, mandatory counseling, mandatory registration as a sex offender and, in many cases, mandatory prison time, you could lose your job, family, friends and standing in the community if you are convicted. With so much on the line, you need a criminal defense attorney who is ready to fight for your life.
We are on your side. At The Law Offices of Matthew D. LaTulip, P.C., we will aggressively defend your innocence. Contact our Merrillville sexual assault lawyer to schedule an appointment today.
Northwest Indiana Rape Defense Attorney
In many cases of sexual assault, there's no other evidence than the victim's statement, making it an awful "he said, she said" situation. When forensic evidence is involved, it is of crucial importance to your future that you retain an attorney skilled in putting together a case based on scientific data such as DNA.
When no forensic information is available, it is just as important for your attorney to be experienced in building a successful defense by looking into the background of the alleged victim and the circumstances surrounding your charge when you have been accused of:
- Sexual assault/rape, including date rape
- Statutory rape
- Child molestation and inappropriate touching
- Public indecency
- Voyeurism
A conviction of sexual assault and rape carries a 20-year sentence under Indiana law, and a requirement to register on the sex offender registry, as mandated by Meghan's Law. Unfortunately, prosecution of sex crimes seems to be guilty until prove innocent. No one deserves for their life to be irreversibly impacted for a crime they did not commit. Matt LaTulip will fight to defend your rights, your reputation and your freedom.
