FACING A CRIMINAL CHARGE?

College students facing sex crime charges should contact a Philadelphia attorney immediately. Parents of university students can also contact a lawyer to take action and protect their child's rights.

Numerous offenses fall under the umbrella of sex crimes. Because these cases are so complicated and carry significant, lasting consequences, it's often in a person's best interests to obtain legal representation. The Law Offices of John Della Rocca has experience handling a variety of sex offense cases, including:

• Sexual assault and rape
• Statutory rape
• Sexual abuse
• Internet sex crimes
• Sexual misconduct
• Child pornography
• Sex offender registration

If convicted or even just accused of a sex crime, a serious stigma will follow that individual for the rest of his or her life. For example, if convicted, in addition to having to register as a sex offender and having a criminal record, the individual could also face jail time and be required to pay hefty fines. In some cases, the convicted individual may have to pay restitution and attend mandatory counseling.

For college students, these lasting consequences could result in suspension from school as well as an inability to pursue their career goals. Furthermore, being accused of a sex crime carries a serious social stigma that can permanently damage a person's personal and professional reputation.

With 20 years of experience representing clients against a wide variety of criminal charges, Attorney John Della Rocca appreciates the importance of taking decisive legal action against sex crime accusations. He can help mitigate exposure and ensure that the accused is treated fairly.
