Being charged with a sex crime can have lasting and life-changing repercussions. State and federal prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions, and the public tends to assume guilt even though you are innocent until proven guilty.

Sex Crimes in El Paso & Statewide
Crimes deemed as “sex crimes” under the Texas Penal Code include:
- Continuous sexual abuse of a young child or disabled individual
- Public lewdness
- Indecent exposure
- Indecency with a child
- Improper relationship between an educator and a student
- Invasive visual recording
- Unlawful disclosure or promotion of intimate visual material
- Voyeurism
- Sexual coercion
- Sexual assault (rape)
- Aggravated sexual assault
- Prostitution
- Possession or distribution of child pornography
Because most sex crimes in Texas are a felony, being convicted carries significant penalties, including a lengthy prison sentence and steep fines. You also face mandatory registration as a sex offender, which can limit your housing and employment opportunities.
Felony convictions also carry collateral consequences, such as forfeiting your right to vote or to own or possess a firearm. With so much at stake, having an attorney well-versed in defending sex crimes cases is essential.
When the stakes are this high, you want a team with a track record of wins. Check out some of our recent case results and see the difference an experienced team of advocates can make.
Potential Defenses Against Sex Crimes in El Paso
If we are retained to defend you against a state or federal sex crime, Benjamin Law Firm conducts a thorough investigation, weighs the strength of the prosecution’s evidence, and chooses the best line of defense, such as:
- Lack of evidence: By collaborating with a respected network of forensic experts and private investigators, we can challenge the validity of scientific evidence and identify and exploit weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
- Consent: Depending on the nature of the alleged offense, we may be able to raise the victim’s consent as a defense. However, this defense is not available in sex crimes against children because they do not have the legal capacity to consent to sexual acts.
- Entrapment: In a case involving child pornography or the transmission of data concerning minors, entrapment may be a viable defense if another party (e.g., the victim, law enforcement) tricked, baited, or coerced you into committing the crime.
- Mental capacity: Our sex crimes attorney can explore the possibility that you lacked the mental capacity to make a sound decision at the time of the alleged incident.
Attorney Brock Benjamin has successfully defended individuals accused of sex crimes and can tailor a defense strategy to the facts of your case. Although he is committed to winning an acquittal, he is always candid about the case against you so you can be advised of your best options.
