Home » Criminal Defense » Internet Sex Crimes
When allegations of sex crimes involve the use of the Internet, a technological component is introduced into the case that makes it all the more important to choose a lawyer who is skilled at examining complex evidence. At Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer, we pride ourselves on conducting our own investigation and not simply taking evidence at face value, bringing in experts if necessary to understand the weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
The stakes are extremely high in cases involving sexual offenses, and you can be confident in our willingness to go to trial if that is what it takes to defend you against these allegations. We have more than 100 years of combined experience. We will fight to prevent you from having this conviction on your record, and from having to register as a sex offender.
Our Columbia Internet sex crime attorneys defend against allegations of soliciting a minor for sex online. These charges often involve accusations of an adult conducting a sexually explicit conversation with a minor and attempting to arrange a meeting via chat rooms, instant messages or emails. In many cases, the accused is caught as part of a sting operation, so the evidence will be comprehensive and include copies of all communications. These are challenging cases, but we know how to handle them.
The possession or transmission of child pornography via the Internet is something that prosecutors take very seriously. They will attack the accused full force. An attorney must be able to stand strong and fight back as necessary, tearing apart evidence that may be flawed in many ways. For example, is it clear how the images got onto the accused's hard drive? Was the computer ever in someone else's possession? We will bring in experts as necessary to defend you against this criminal charge.

Our lawyers are aggressive and thorough. We know that we cannot rely on the police investigation, because police miss things. We need to conduct our own investigation. That means visiting the scene of the alleged crime and re-interviewing witnesses to sift through half-truths that may have been told to the police. We will bring in private investigators and legal experts to ensure that we have every fact at our disposal. Once we have gathered all the facts, we use them to build a strong criminal defense case to protect you.
