Types of Sex Offenses

The list of sexual offenses determined to be illegal by the Florida legislature is extensive.

In many situations, individuals are wrongly accused and prosecuted under false allegations. This is most common in child abuse and child sexual abuse cases. It is not uncommon for adults to have influenced children to make allegations for a variety of reasons. The most common reason for adults to influence children into concocting stories is due to strained relationships. If you find that you are being falsely accused of child abuse or child sexual abuse, it is imperative to contact a Miami child abuse attorney at DMT to investigate the matter thoroughly and prove your innocence.

Registration for Sex Offenders or Predators

In the State of Florida, individuals convicted of certain sex offenses are required to register with the Florid Department of Law Enforcement.
