The consequences of being named or investigated in a sex crime can be devastating, even if charges and a conviction never result. The social stigma and professional limitations that accompany sexual crimes can permanently affect your family, position in the community, and income.

Indecent Behavior
In talking to the authorities without an attorney, a person risks:
1. Giving an incorrect answer due to an honest lapse of memory
2. Miscommunication resulting from either the person's or officer's misunderstanding of the questions or answers.
3. Intentional misrepresentation of the person's statement by the officer.
Any one of these events may adversely affect the person under investigation by increasing the likelihood of authorities filing criminal charges and obtaining an indictment. Serious crimes, including sex crimes, involve a bad intent on the part of the defendant. One of the major ways the prosecution proves bad intent is through statements given during interviews which are claimed to be admissions or lies.
