Sex Crimes We Defend in The Woodlands Area

Barbieri Law Firm defends clients accused of a full range of sex crimes under Texas law:

Aggravated Sexual Assault
Texas Penal Code § 22.021 aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree felony. Convictions carry 5 to 99 years or life imprisonment, fines up to $10,000, and mandatory sex-offender registration. When the victim is younger than 10, or younger than 14 and the offense involves serious bodily injury, threats, or a weapon, the minimum sentence is 25 years.

Online Sex Crimes
Texas Penal Code § 33.021 online solicitation of a minor ranges from a third-degree felony (2–10 years) to a first-degree felony (5–99 years or life), depending on the minor’s age and the nature of the communication. Digital evidence in these cases requires specialized technical defense.

Child Sex Crimes
Texas Penal Code § 21.02 continuous sexual abuse of a young child is a first-degree felony (25–99 years or life) with no statute of limitations. Texas Penal Code § 21.11 indecency with a child is a second-degree felony (2–20 years) when by sexual contact, or a third-degree felony (2–10 years) when by exposure, also with no statute of limitations.

Sexual Assault and Related Charges
We defend against Texas Penal Code § 22.011 sexual assault and other indecency charges involving minors or vulnerable persons.

All sex crime convictions in Texas require lifetime sex-offender registration under Code of Criminal Procedure articles 62.001 and 62.101.

Challenging the Prosecution’s Case in Sex Crime Allegations

Sex crime cases often hinge on witness credibility, evidence interpretation, and the prosecution’s burden to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Barbieri Law Firm examines every element:

Eyewitness Identification and Credibility
Research from The Innocence Project shows that eyewitness misidentification and false accusations are leading causes of wrongful convictions in sex crime cases. We scrutinize witness statements, potential bias, and the reliability of identification procedures.

Digital and Forensic Evidence
Online sex crimes involve digital evidence—communications, metadata, device logs, and internet activity. This evidence requires specialized technical defense and often contains exculpatory information the prosecution overlooks.

Consent, Intent, and Age-of-Consent Defenses
Sex crime charges often depend on proving intent, consent, or the victim’s age. These defenses require careful legal strategy and thorough investigation.

Interrogation Procedures and Miranda Rights
Police interrogation tactics, failure to read Miranda rights, and coercive questioning can render statements inadmissible. We examine whether your rights were protected during questioning.

Investigation of Police Procedures
We investigate how evidence was collected, preserved, and handled. Chain-of-custody violations, improper testing, and procedural errors can exclude critical evidence.
