Sex Crimes
Very few allegations will damage a person’s reputation and future as much as a charge involving a sexual offense. These charges are pursued very aggressively by prosecutors for many reasons, including the heightened attention by the news media in recent years. Often these cases are basically a credibility issue between the person charged and the complaining witness. There can be many reasons why these charges are falsely made. Sometimes they are motivated by monetary gain or custody disputes between parents of a child. Mr. Jenkins is not afraid to aggressively defend against sexual charges. Mr. Jenkins, having been a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney for more than 20 years is well aware that many times, allegations of sexual abuse are false and used to obtain leverage as mentioned above. Sometimes allegations are exaggerated as well. We know what to look for. We know the defenses and how to effect the best possible outcome in your case. Mr. Jenkins is highly trained in developing relationships with witnesses and complainants that sometimes allows him to obtain information about the facts of the case that many lawyers do not obtain. One of the first things that must be done is a thorough investigation into the background of the complainant. Has the complaining witness brought other charges against other that were proven to be false? Also, if necessary we will use computer experts who assist in cases.
