Avoid the Stigma of Sex Crimes
Those convicted of sex offenses face consequences beyond any prison time received. Unlike most other crimes where people are viewed as having "paid their debt to society" by serving a prison sentence, those convicted of sex crimes often will be stigmatized for the rest of their lives. Additionally, they must register with Indiana's sex offender registry, which makes it difficult for them to live in certain places, and their freedom can be limited past any prison sentence.
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you need an aggressive criminal defense attorney to help you with the following:
- Avoid prison
- Keep a sex crime conviction off your record
- Minimize the financial consequences
- Stay off the sex offender registry
At Cruz and Bibbs P.C., our criminal defense attorneys include a former Deputy Prosecutor and former Master Court Commissioner. While serving as an officer with the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG), attorney Lynn Bibbs was responsible for sex crimes defense. While Ms. Bibbs was a prosecutor for Marion County, she worked in the sex crimes division and prosecuted rape and child molestation cases. Our firm understands the type of evidence that is required for the state to prove its case, and we are well versed in forensic testing and medical analysis of sex crime cases.
Representative case: A father was charged with eight felony counts of molesting his 14 year old biological daughter from the age of five through nine. With the testimony of his 14 year old step-daughter, and skillful cross-examination by Ms. Bibbs, the defendant was found not guilty.
Experienced and Effective Defense
While serving in the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, P. Lynn Bibbs was the attorney who was assigned the Central State Hospital case in which several guards were accused of sex crimes. She was also assigned to the "condom rapist" case. A good prosecutor makes a good criminal defense lawyer, and Ms. Bibbs now has turned her attention to providing a defense for those charged with serious sex crimes. Our focus on sex crime cases is:
- Vindication: We know how to get a fair trial when media leaks occur.
- Avoiding the sex offender registry: We have reached plea agreements with the state to lesser included offenses that do not include the sex offender registry.
- Sex crimes: Including rape, criminal deviate conduct, sexual battery and confinement, sexual misconduct, child molestation, child solicitation and indecent exposure
