Allegations of sex crimes carry an immediate and severe impact—socially, professionally, and legally. If you’ve been accused or charged with a sex-related offense in Long Beach, it’s not just your freedom on the line; your entire future is at risk. Working with an experienced Long Beach sex crimes lawyer is the most important decision you can make during this critical time.
Many defendants also face associated charges, such as drug possession or assault, which complicate the legal strategy even further. If you’re facing multiple charges, it’s essential to have a comprehensive and aggressive defense built by a team that understands every angle of California criminal law.

How a Long Beach Sex Crimes Lawyer Builds Your Defense
Sex crimes cases often hinge on evidence that may be misleading, circumstantial, or taken out of context. At JN Law Offices, we take immediate steps to:
Investigate the credibility of the accuser
Examine the forensic and digital evidence
Identify inconsistencies in statements or timelines
Challenge how evidence was obtained, especially in cases involving illegal searches
If law enforcement violated your rights during the investigation—such as seizing your property without a warrant—your case could be dismissed or reduced. Learn more about this defense on our page about how to challenge illegal search and seizure.
When Sex Crime Charges Overlap with Drug or Assault Offenses
Many sex crime charges are filed alongside other offenses like drug possession or physical assault. For instance, prosecutors may add charges if there was a fight or struggle during the alleged incident.
If you are also facing charges for drug-related crimes, our experienced Long Beach drug crimes lawyer team will assess whether substance use is being unfairly used to imply intent or recklessness. In cases where alleged victims were under the influence, your defense may hinge on consent issues and conflicting memories.
Assault charges, especially when physical force is alleged in a sexual crime, demand additional legal focus. Our firm provides aggressive representation in all assault and battery cases.
Weapon-Related Enhancements in Sex Crime Cases
California imposes harsher penalties if a weapon is allegedly used during a sex crime. Whether the weapon was real or implied (such as verbal threats of violence), prosecutors may file sentence enhancements that could add years or decades to a prison term.
