Denver Child Abuse Attorney
Accusations of child abuse, sexual assault on a child or other crimes against children are among the most serious under Colorado law. You need a Child Abuse Attorney who has the experience to protect your rights and articulate your defense to the prosecutor and the jury. In Colorado, there are several distinct charges available to the prosecutor with regard to molestation and other crimes against children, including:
- Sexual assault on a child
- Sexual assault on a child from a position of trust
- Sexual assault on a child pattern of abuse
- Internet luring
- Child pornography
- Child abuse
- Contributing to the delinquency of a minor
- Sexual exploitation of a child
- Solicitation of a minor
These charges can lead to serious consequences, including life in prison, life on probation, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. You may not be allowed contact with children including your own and you may be limited as to where you can live and where you can work. In many cases, you can be prohibited from Internet access, which can again affect where you can work.
If you believe you are even suspected of any of these crimes you need to contact an child abuse attorney immediately.
