Get Help Challenging Allegations Of A Sex Crime
The criminal penalties associated with crimes of a sexual nature are among the most serious and far-reaching. Individuals who are convicted of a sex crime in Indiana will face a lengthy prison sentence, hefty fines and a criminal record. Additionally, upon being released from prison, an individual will likely be forced to register as a sex offender.
At Matthew D. Barrett, P.C. Attorney at Law, I understand the grim reality that individuals who are accused of rape or who are charged with child molestation face if convicted. Drawing on almost 20 years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer, I will thoroughly investigate and examine all aspects of your case to uncover evidence in your favor and identify weak points in the prosecution’s case. Based in Logansport, I’m familiar with the local prosecutors and judges and can use that knowledge to your advantage.
Understanding Indiana’s Sex And Violent Offender Registry
Individuals who are convicted of a sex crime and forced to register as a sex offender in Indiana must provide the following personal identifying information that is included in a searchable online database:
- Full legal name and any aliases
