Sex Offense Charges

Annapolis, Maryland, Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

A conviction in a sex crime case results in embarrassment for family, friends, and colleagues, the potential for a very long prison sentence, and even the loss of ability to earn a living. In Maryland, people convicted of many types of sex crimes also face lifetime registration as a sex offender. If you are under investigation for a sex crime, call me at 410-777-8723 for a free initial consultation before you talk to the police.

I am J. Dennis Murphy, Jr., a criminal defense lawyer with more than 20 years of experience prosecuting and defending people charged with sex crimes such as:

• Indecent exposure
• Physical and sexual child abuse
• Rape
• Prostitution
• Child pornography
• Child molestation
• Incest
• Chat room offenses
• Attempted criminal sexual conduct

I have considerable experience handling sex crimes from both a prosecution and a defense point of view. If you are under investigation for a sex crime, one of the most important things you can do is to talk to a lawyer before you talk to police. In almost 70 percent of the cases I have handled, my client confessed to the sex crime after being confronted by an officer. However, without a confession, the state may be unable to prove its case.

My primary goal in a sex crime case is to look for a winning defense so you can be found not guilty. Secondly, I take proactive steps such as enrolling you in a treatment program that can help minimize consequences if you are found guilty.
