Proactive Sex Crime Defense

A person charged with a sex crime needs a sex crime lawyer who proactively approaches representing clients and who has achieved outstanding case results. The stigma associated with a sex crime conviction needs to be avoided. The stigma of being a convicted sex offender has far reaching consequences, not only for the convicted person but for his or her family.

Failing to act decisively may lead to a felony or misdemeanor sex crime conviction, resulting in substantial jail or prison time and permanent tracking by authorities through Sex Offender Registration (Penal Code – Section 62) as well as the stigma of being a convicted sex offender.

Sex Offender Registration Program

Art.62.051.Registration: General

A person who has a reportable conviction or adjudication or who is required to register as a condition of parole, release to mandatory supervision, or community supervision shall register or, if the person is a person for whom registration is completed under this chapter, verify registration as provided by Subsection (f), with the local law enforcement authority in any municipality where the person resides or intends to reside for more than seven days. If the person does not reside or intend to reside in a municipality, the person shall register or verify registration in any county where the person resides or intends to reside for more than seven days.

In addition, the vehicle registration information including the make, model, vehicle identification number, color, and license plate number, of any vehicle owned by the person, if the person has a reportable conviction or adjudication for an offense, must also be registered.

Few areas of criminal law have so many wrongfully convicted people as that of sex crimes. With new laws and registration requirements, sex crime convictions can even limit the ability to find housing.

“When people come in for their initial consultation, they are upset because they’ve been in some kind of trouble with the law. They don’t know what is going to happen to them. When they leave our office after speaking with Mr. Looney, they are relieved. Our law firm really cares about the person and his or her family.” – Cynthia, Looney, Smith & Conrad Firm Administrator and Paralegal

Types of Sex Crimes

The Sex Offense Crimes Attorneys at Looney, Smith & Conrad, P.C. are discreet, non-judgmental and devote their knowledge and skills to cases involving misdemeanor or felony defense for sex crimes including:

  • Acquaintance Rape*

  • Pimping, Pandering
  • Prostitution
  • Public Indecency
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Sexual Harrassment
  • Solicitation

  • Statutory Rape* (sex with a minor)

*In Texas, a person is not actually charged with the offense of “rape” because the term is not used. Different categories of rape (date rape, acquaintance rape, spousal rape, etc.) are all grouped together under “Sexual Assault”.

There are times when law enforcement completes a rape report and police investigators fail to interview all witnesses, visit the crime scene, take necessary photos or complete a thorough forensic investigation. Often the accuser’s motive to make a false claim is ignored.

Looney, Smith & Conrad, P.C. can begin work to dismiss the charges even before criminal charges are issued. If the case proceeds to court, we can represent you at the preliminary hearing and at jury trial. Our extensive courtroom expertise allows us to successfully negotiate with the District Attorney before any charges are filed or having to appear in court.

Paul Looney’s unprecedented record of success, 60 jury trials with zero final convictions, makes Looney, Smith & Conrad, P.C. unique within the industry of criminal defense attorneys.

    • Parent Teacher Association Meetings
    • Band and Theatre Productions
    • Sporting Events
    • Graduations

Looney, Smith & Conrad’s Approach to Fighting Sex Offense Crime Charges

In general, there are no acceptable plea bargains in sex crime cases because most pleas require registration for life as a sex offender. These cases are highly emotional, often high-profile, and allegations are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

An innocent person can be the victim of a comment made by a child at school, during a divorce, or simply by opening up a pornographic website — all of which can result in sexual criminal charges.

The Sex Crimes Attorneys at Looney, Smith & Conrad, P.C. are dedicated not only to defending sex offense crimes, but also have expertise that is well known in the legal community. Our top trial attorney, Paul Looney, is frequently featured as a commentator on high profile sex crime interview/debate shows covering topics such as the Duke University Lacrosse Team rape trial.

We win cases and keep people off the
National Sex Offender Registry.
