Sexual offenses often carry lengthy prison terms and always a lifetime of registration and unpleasant social consequences. The Scarborough Law Firm will ensure the charges against you are fully investigated, all evidence is obtained and all witness interviewed. In these cases, witness testimony and facts are crucial. In computer related sex offenses, there are often viable issues regarding entrapment, search and seizure and intent to commit the actual crime. As your criminal defense lawyer, Karen Scarborough always consults investigators, psychologists and forensic experts, in order to undermine the prosecution’s case against you.

Sexual crimes usually involve DNA evidence, eyewitness testimony and alleged victim testimony. We assure that this evidence is fully evaluated. We consult forensic experts, investigators and psychologists to uncover inconsistencies in testimony and false allegations. We visit crime scenes, uncover evidence that prosecutors fail to know or improperly understand which in many cases leads to acquittal of charges.

Our firm enjoys performing sound analysis of all evidence and possesses essential trial strategies to prevent the prosecution from proving its case against you.
