Houston Sexting Defense Lawyers
What is Sexting?
Sexting involves receiving or sending a sexually explicit photo of a child younger than 18 via a mobile phone. Even if your adult son or daughter consented to the sexting, he or she could end up in jail and be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of his or her life. In addition to alerting the public about the sex offense, sex offender registration will impact your son or daughter’s ability to get a job, travel freely and to live in certain areas.
Houston Criminal Online Solicitation of a Minor Defense Lawyers
Online solicitation occurs when one knowingly solicits a minor (a person who represents himself or herself as younger than 17 years of age) for sex over the Internet. This can include social networking sites, chat rooms, e-mail and text messaging. Even if your son or daughter were just role playing, engaging in a fantasy, did not intend for the meeting to occur, the meeting did not occur, he or she can be charged with a sex offense.
Aggressive Defense
Most people and even some grand jurors understand the difference between a teen making a bad decision by flirting through technology and an adult possessing child pornography. However, if the teen is 18 years or older, Texas law does not distinguish the two. Because your teen’s future is at stake, it is essential that you fight the charges.
