COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is criminal sexual conduct under Minnesota law?

It covers a range of offenses under §§ 609.342 to 609.3451, from unwanted contact to penetration by force, grouped into five degrees by severity.

What should I do immediately after being accused?

Do not speak to investigators without legal counsel present. Contact a sex crime defense attorney right away to protect your rights from the start.

Does a conviction always lead to sex offender registration?

Not always. Registration depends on the specific offense and degree. A sex crime defense lawyer can work to challenge charges that trigger registration requirements.

Can false accusations be successfully defended against?

Yes. We investigate motive, inconsistencies, and lack of physical evidence to build a strong defense against accusations that do not hold up to scrutiny.

How long does a sex crime case take in Minnesota?

Cases typically take 6 to 18 months. Complex cases involving digital evidence or multiple charges can take longer, depending on court scheduling.
