Accused of a Sex Crime?
There are few allegations that can damage your reputation and future as much being charged with a sexual offense. A simple accusation of a sex crime, which does not require physical evidence to back it up, can have an impact on your employment, your relationships and even your ability to secure housing. Unfortunately, the nature of these crimes often causes people to jump to conclusions regarding guilt before the real story can be told. If you’ve been accused of a sex crime, the sooner you engage the services of a San Diego sex crime lawyer, the better impact they can have on your case. Sex crimes are notoriously difficult to defend, which underlines the importance of finding a highly experienced, effective attorney in San Diego who has a proven track record of sex crimes defense.
California Sex Crimes
Sex crime is a broad category that encompasses a variety of common offenses such as the following:
- Lewd and Lascivious Conduct
- Child Exploitation
- Sexual Battery
- Possession and/or Distribution of Child Pornography
- Prostitution
- Date Rape/Spousal Rape
- Sexting
Sex crimes occur every day and many people are accused of these crimes falsely. As a San Diego sex crime defense attorney, I believe in your rights and know that serious accusations require a serious defense.
Penalties in San Diego for Sex Crime Convictions
In California, the penalties for convictions of sexual offenses are harsh. Any sexual charge must be aggressively defended due to the fact that a conviction on almost any of these crimes will result in registration as a sex offender (usually for life), a felony conviction, mandatory AIDS testing, polygraph examinations and potential prison time.
How likely any of these scenarios are depends on a number of factors:
- The type of charge(s)
- Mitigating or aggravating circumstances
- Prior convictions of sex crimes
- The age and relationship of the accused to the victim
- The quality of your legal representation by a San Diego sex crimes attorney

- Isabella M."The best of the best. Period. I recently had the pleasure of hiring Michael Berg to handle a rather difficult case. Professional, prompt and thorough he is the best I have ever encountered."
- Christina D.Wow. When I first met you I was 20 years old and scared to death. A drug addict behind bars and pregnant isn't where I thought I'd ever end up. That was 8 years ago. You're an amazing person and an awesome attorney and I'm lucky to have had you defending me. What you were able to do for me was give me another chance at life. You helped me to work with the system. Looking back, I couldn't have done any of it without you. I always recommend you to all my friends. You are, by far, one of the best attorneys out there, and a great person too!
- Anthony P.Today's result was outstanding! Thank you for your fine work! I will certainly recommend you should the need arise.
- Abby R."I hired attorney Michael Berg for my attempted murder case, and let me tell you I don't regret a thing! Not only is he fantastic at what he does, he's honestly one of the humblest men I have ever met. His smile and energy is very contagious. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't find him. He helped me get my case dismissed! I suppose you could call him a miracle worker. He basically saved my life. I'm very young and this was my first time getting into trouble with the law. He helped me throughout the whole process and always had an answer to my questions. If you're in need of a criminal defense lawyer I assure you, he's the one. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in hiring him."
- Michael L."Michael Berg handled my case with competency, responsibility, honesty, and diligence. He made promises that he kept, and helped me get through my case from start to finish (over multiple months with follow-up over a year later). I can not provide any better recommendation than Mr. Berg if you need an attorney in San Diego."
