| Sexual Crimes and
Offenses |
| |
An alarming number of innocent people are in prison after being
convicted for sexual crimes and offenses they did not commit. An effective and
adequate representation in these type of cases requires from the
defense attorney to have special education and have
access to a pool of qualified experts willing to testify on your
behalf.
Pesquera is a member of the National Child Abuse Defense and
Resource Center (NCADRC) and attends their international conferences
held every other year to ensure he is up to date with the most
recent studies and research on the subject matter. Because of the
inherent problems that exist in defending sexual abuse cases,
especially those involving children, special efforts are required by
defense counsel.
Defense attorneys must look for ways to introduce rationality back
into the courtroom. We must not allow feelings of sympathy for the
victim of child abuse to overwhelm the law or a client’s right to a
fair trial under the law. The attorney must look for ways to excuse
or avoid the child’s accusation. For this, the child is not to be
presented as an active participant in developing a fabricated
accusation but rather a victim of adult social influences, adult
agendas and adult purposes. Defense attorneys cannot accept the
picture of being a mean, hostile, aggressive lawyer who attacks
little children to impeach, discredit and confuse them. The attorney
must frame his role as a champion of the child, protecting the child
from harmful adult social influences, even if it may be well
intentioned.
Pesquera has successfully defended numerous clients charged with
sexual offenses they did not commit (see section entitled "Our
Success Record"). For a confidential consultation
