Sex Crimes

Texas Sexual Assault Defense

Tell us about your case.

The state of Texas is now considering the death penalty for people twice convicted of sexually assaulting a child. And while not all sex crimes carry such harsh sentences, it is doubtful that we can overstate the severity of these punishments. If you have been charged with any type of sex crime, do not talk about the case to anyone and contact an attorney immediately.

At Bristol Myers & Associates, P.C., we understand what is at stake in these cases and spare no effort or resources to aggressively defend our clients. As a firm, we represent clients here in the Austin area and throughout the state of Texas in ALL cases of alleged sex crimes, including:

• Rape / sexual assault
• Aggravated sexual assault / statutory rape
• Indecency with a child / child sexual abuse
• Online solicitation of a minor
• Indecent exposure / public lewdness
• Solicitation of prostitution
• Distribution, possession of child pornography
• Date rape / acquaintance rape
• Failure to register as a sex offender

Our approach to defending clients in sexual assault cases is much like the approach we take in any assault case where it is a matter of one person's word versus another's. One thing we make sure not to do is refer to complainants as "victims." We call them "accusers." Doing so reinforces the presumption of innocence for our clients. We also interview witnesses, check their backgrounds, and seek to uncover any bias in favor of the accuser or against our client. We also dig into the accuser's background, looking for a history of false accusations, threats made to our client, substance abuse, mental health problems, and any other information that might cast doubt on the accuser's story. To summarize, we do whatever we legally and ethically can to help our clients avoid conviction and the shame associated with sex offender registration.
