Sex Crimes Lawyer in Brazos County, Texas

 

The Brazos County District Attorney’s Office has 34 employees, some of whom are specially trained in prosecuting cases involving sexual abuse of children.

 

The Texas Department of Public Safety’s Uniform Crime Report for 2016 found that the number of sex offenses in the state increased by 7.7 percent last year.

 

Brazos County records approximately 180 sexual assaults each year, of which 120 occur in Bryan and 50 occur in College Station.

 

Increased Prosecutions Lead to Increase in False Allegations

 

The DA’s office has ramped up its prosecution of sex offenses, especially those involving children. The DA’s office on its Facebook page has stated its position this way: “We will aggressively pursue child predators, regardless of when the abuse occurred.”

 

This is evidenced by the fact that as of September 2017, there were 232 registered sex offenders in Brazos County, 158 of who are registered in Bryan and 44 in College Station.

 

The Brazos County district courts have responded to the increase in child sex offense prosecutions. This year, one defendant received 27 years for indecency with a child while another received a 75-year term for sexual assault of a child.

 

With increased emphasis on child sex abuse crime prosecutions by the DA’s office, there will be false allegations, especially in divorce proceedings involving contentious child custody disputes. Reputable studies reveal that false child sex abuse allegations are made in anywhere from 6 to 35 percent of these cases.

 

In 2016, there were a total of 1038 child abuse investigations conducted in Brazos County, of which only 378 could be confirmed. A significant number of these false child abuse reports included false allegations of sex abuse.

Sex Offender Registration Brazos County

 

Conviction of any sex offense requires that the offender register with local law enforcement under both federal and state law thereby placing his name/address in a public registry. This can dramatically alter a person’s life, forever. Securing employment and safe housing become exceedingly difficult. Friends, and even family, tend to drift away. Depression becomes a fixture in a registered sex offender’s life.

 

Living with sex offender registration is indeed difficult.  Failure to fully comply with the sex offender registration requirements can result in a felony prosecution. Depending on the initial conviction that required registration, the punishment may be based on a state jail, third- degree, or second-degree felony.

 

OffenderWatch

 

Brazos County law enforcement utilizes a national-based OffenderWatch service to manage and monitor the whereabouts, conduct, and compliance status of registered county sex offenders.  The Brazos County Sheriff’s Department encourages the public to register for the notification tool to monitor their address and neighborhood should a sex offender move within 1 mile.

 

The John T. Floyd Law Firm is committed to not letting a child sex abuse allegation lead to a conviction and ultimately to sex offender registration.

 

If you, or a loved one, is under investigation, or has been charged with a child sex abuse offense, it is imperative that you seek legal representation as soon as possible.
