Being accused of a sex crime can have life-altering consequences, including prison time, mandatory registration as a sex offender, and permanent reputational damage. Even false accusations can devastate careers, relationships, and personal freedom. At Blankenship Law, we understand the high stakes involved and fight to protect your rights, your future, and your reputation.
False accusations are common:
misunderstandings, revenge, or personal conflicts can lead to wrongful charges.
DNA and digital evidence play a role:
forensic and electronic evidence can be challenged for accuracy and reliability.
Sex offender registration is lifelong: a conviction can lead to severe restrictions on housing, employment, and travel.
Defenses exist:
consent, mistaken identity, and lack of evidence can result in case dismissals or reduced charges.
Strategic, Discreet, and Aggressive Defense
