When you face sex crime allegations, you need to be concerned both about prison time and about having to register as a sex offender. Contact us now to protect your future. Your initial consultation is free.

Selling Fake Child Porn May Get You the Same Charge as Selling Real Child Porn
The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that a person may be prosecuted for possession of child pornography or for pandering child pornography, even if that person is only pretending to have any to sell. You do not actually have to own any real child pornography in order to be found guilty. While that ruling currently applies to federal child porn charges, the State of Florida may follow suit.
At Graves & Spivey, we understand the legal issues and real-life risks associated with being accused of a sex crime. If you have been accused of a sexual offense, contact us now.
