The Shasta County Marshal’s Office sets pretty straightforward directions for sexual assault investigations. The Sexual Assault Response Team, aka SART, is made up of law enforcement officers, victim advocates, sexual assault nurse examiners, or SANEs, sexual assault forensic examiners, aka SAFEs, forensic medical examiners, and prosecutors. The purpose of SART is to respond to victims of sexual assault on a broad spectrum.

As you can see, when you’re charged with a sex crime in Shasta County, you’re up against a lot. Anyone who is accused of a sex crime should, at the very least, consult with a sex crime lawyer at Eric Alan Berg & Associates. It’s not in anyone’s favor to face these charges without professional, legal representation.

Under the Sex Offender Act, depending on the charges and severity of the sex crime, a defendant charged with a sex crime could be sentenced to register as a lifetime sex offender. While some sex crime convictions allow for a 10-year registry, a 20-year registry, and reevaluation after a 20-year registration, others do not. For this reason, it cannot be stressed enough that defendants of sex crimes can benefit significantly by hiring a Shasta County sex crime lawyer.

How Can a Lawyer Help With Sex Crime Charges?

When it comes to sex crimes, courts tend to show little sympathy. However, just as the courts will use the law to restrict your rights if you are convicted, an experienced Shasta County sex crime lawyer can use it to defend your rights.

A knowledgeable Shasta County sex crime lawyer can add valuable contributions to the prosecutor’s investigation by identifying new evidence or disproving existing evidence. A criminal defense attorney can also potentially negotiate lesser charges or a plea deal that can lessen the severity of the penalties a convicted sex offender will face. In cases where the defendant is innocent, they have a better chance of getting their charges dropped with a lawyer.

Don’t Take Chances With Your Life

If you’re facing sex crime charges in Shasta County and you feel like your freedom and reputation are at stake, hiring a Shasta County sex crime lawyer is not a choice but a necessity.

Shortly after entering this agreement, the DA’s office filed charges related to an investigation that began before they entered the agreement.
