Rape or Sexual Battery is defined as sexual intercourse without consent. There are enhanced penalties depending on the age of the victim as well as the elimination of the element of consent. In Florida, sex crimes include a variety of crimes relating to sexual touching of both adults and children including forced oral or anal contact – forced sodomy or deviate sexual intercourse, sexual abuse and forced sexual touching with a foreign object. All of these are very serious crimes. Punishment varies based on many factors such as how long the contact takes place, the age of the victim, the degree of injury cause and the circumstances of the crime.

Internet Sex Crimes
The Internet is the latest frontier for law enforcement. Most internet sex crimes involve minors: downloading or uploading child pornography, using the internet to arrange for sexual contacts with people under the age of consent, or providing “obscene” material to children via email. Needless to say, on the anonymous internet, the alleged predators have no intention of seeking underage partners. The interactions are often misleading and far from certain about who will be there.
Child Pornography
The First Amendment does not protect child pornography. Possessing, producing, or trafficking in images of actual children engaged in sexual activity is a crime under both state and federal law, often resulting is substantial prison time. A forensic defense of the computer issues is imperative. A criminal defense lawyer who is also knowledgeable of computer forensics and cybercrime issues is imperative.

Invoke your privilege against self incrimination. Better yet, hire Johansson Law and invoke your Right to Counsel. Our Attorneys can deal with the government and its agents for you so you can avoid their harsh interrogation tactics.

Prostitution, Conspiracy & RICO
Both prostitution – i.e. engaging or agreeing to engage in sexual conduct with another person for a fee, and patronizing a prostitute are crimes. People working at (or patronizing) escort services and even some clubs may find they are accused of prostitution. Exactly what conduct crosses the line and becomes illegal can be a complicated legal question. Since escort services and clubs are businesses, owners and managers can be accused of promoting prostitution or even conspiracy or racketeering (RICO).
