    Defense Against Sex Crime Charges

    In the state of Florida, there are multiple legal defenses that could be used to defend against sex crime charges; these can include:

    • Consent: If the sexual activity was consensual, no crime might have occurred. However, in Florida, there are restrictions on when consent can be used as a defense, specifically in cases involving minors.
    • Lack of intent: If the defendant did not have the intention to commit a sex crime or was unknowing that the other person did not consent, it may be likely to argue that no crime was committed.
    • False accusations: If the accuser had a motive to falsely accuse the defendant, it might be possible to argue that the allegations that were made are not true.
    • Police misconduct: If there was police misconduct in acquiring evidence or conducting the investigation, arguing that the evidence should be excluded from the trial could be possible.

    Ultimately, every case is unique, and the best defense strategy will be dependent on the specific circumstances of the case. Criminal defense attorney Armando J. Hernandez, who is experienced in handling sex crime cases in Florida, can help determine the best defense strategy to use for you and your specific case.
