San Jose Sex Crimes Lawyer
A defendant in a sex crime case often knows early on that an investigation is likely, or is already underway. It is not unusual to discover that the complaining witness in a sex crime case was led to report the crime out of a desire for revenge or was coached by an inexperienced police officer. At the first hint that trouble is brewing, you should talk to an attorney and no one else.

Why Speaking to an Attorney is Important
Often, an accused person attempts to solve the problem on his own. He may speak with the alleged victim or the alleged victim's family members. He may talk to his own family members, a social worker or a law enforcement officer making inquiries about the matter.
These conversations aimed at resolving a problem actually make matters much worse. The accused unknowingly makes statements the prosecution can use against the accused at trial. A conversation with the complaining witness is often set-up and recorded or witnessed by covert law enforcement officers. Even talking to one's own spouse is not advisable without legal representation.
