Criminal Defense For Internet Crimes And Underage Sexting
Being caught up in a criminal investigation for a sex crime can be confusing and overwhelming. Misunderstandings can happen, and suddenly, the conversations on your phone or computer that you thought were private are not so private anymore. Sometimes those conversations end up in state or federal court. This is especially true with sexting and internet sex crimes.
At Lutins & Pilgreen, PC, in Roanoke, our criminal defense lawyer defends clients charged with sex crimes involving activities on the internet or cellular networks. We understand your fear and confusion, and we believe that every one of our clients deserves the strongest possible defense.

Protecting Your Future: Your Right To Remain Silent
Few crimes are as damaging to your reputation or your future as a sex offense. The accusations alone can threaten your reputation. If you are convicted, you could face a lengthy prison sentence for something you didn’t even know was a crime, such as taking a picture of your underage girlfriend with your cellphone.
If you are accused of a sex crime on the Internet or a cellphone network, you have the right to remain silent. At no time in your life is this right more important. Before you discuss the charges with anyone else, contact an attorney. Nothing you say to the police will help your case, and you could accidentally make statements that damage certain defenses.
When you are facing such serious consequences like prison, the stigma of a sex crime conviction and possible lifetime registration as a sex offender, it is important to put your case in the hands of an experienced sex crimes defense attorney as soon as possible.
