Accused of possession or distribution of child pornography?

Sex crimes especially those involving children are taken very seriously throughout the country. Even the mere hint of an allegation can ruin an individual's reputation so it is important to have a strong advocate on your side if you have been accused of a crime. Under North Carolina law, § 14 202.1 refers to the crime of taking indecent liberties with children/minor. It states that if a person over the age of 16 and at least 5 years older than the child in question takes or attempts to take any immoral liberties with the child, they could be found guilty of a Class F felony. Any improper, immoral, or indecent acts done out of the purpose to gratify sexual desires or for arousal could fall into this category of crime.

In this case, a child refers to anyone, male or female, under the age of 16. This law does not stipulate whether or not the child gave consent, because under law, they are unable to give permission, even if the adult is a boyfriend or girlfriend. It also does not only refer to intercourse, but to any lascivious act on any part of the body of the child.

If you or someone you know has been charged with indecent liberties with a child or is under investigation from an allegation, please call an attorney today. We have experience trying and winning cases like these. Many times the credibility of the witnesses and victim will come into play. The earlier an attorney gets involved to create and look at statements, the better. This, like many other sex crimes, does not receive lenient offers from the district attorney's office, because of this, we go into each case anticipating a trial.

We do not solely rely on an offer that may or may not come, we focus on how we are going to win at trial before anything else. We have successfully represented clients on these charges from pre-charge (no charges being brought) thru trial (acquittal), let our experience help you.
