Sex Crime Defense

Harrisburg Sex Offenses - Online Solicitation Defense

If you're facing serious Pennsylvania sex offense charges, contact the Harrisburg criminal defense attorneys at Boyle, Neblett & Wenger for reliable advice, personal attention, and dependable representation. Having tried almost 150 cases to juries in his 20-year career, our founding attorney Dennis Boyle has the experience to help you confront and resolve sex crime allegations.

At Boyle, Neblett & Wenger, we handle such sex offense cases as the following:

• Sexual assault charges such as date rape, spousal rape, or acquaintance rape
• Indecent exposure, lewd conduct, and sex offenses involving minors
• Computer child pornography
• Online solicitation of a minor for sex

Child pornography and Internet solicitation cases are often charged under federal law and provide very harsh penalties. Even in cases where a federal law enforcement agent impersonated a minor in a chat room and encouraged the defendant to arrange a meeting under false pretenses, the criminal consequences are severe. Our familiarity with federal criminal procedure and the emerging law in this area help us to aggressively defend these difficult cases.

In sex offenses, involving allegations of rape or coercion between people who know one another, we use forensic experts in appropriate cases. Experts can develop and present evidence as to the complaining witness's state of mind or psychological condition, where a consent defense can be supported by sound testimony.

Some of our clients in sex crime cases stand to lose a great deal if convicted or on an otherwise favorable guilty plea. They can be fathers going through divorces, licensed professionals, teachers, and coaches. Our handling of your case will take full account of your circumstances so that any negotiated resolution will interfere as little as possible with a professional license, child custody considerations, or any other factor that bears upon your situation. We choose a given defense strategy not simply because it works, but because it works best in your particular circumstances.
