Kalamazoo Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer
The Law Firm of Frank Stanley, PC, has more than 30 years of criminal defense experience, which is used to defend clients accused of sex offenses. Clients in Michigan and nationwide turn to the firm for successful representation in these challenging and often high-profile felony cases.
In one of many successes in sex crime cases, the firm defended a client charged with two life-sentence offenses of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one 15-year sentence offense of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The alleged victim was his stepdaughter. The client had confessed three times — once to police. At trial, the firm convinced the jury that there was reasonable doubt about the client's guilt, and the client was found not guilty against overwhelming odds.

Defense Against All Sex Crime Charges
Any type of sexual offense is extremely volatile because of the very nature of the allegations. Many modern state laws prohibiting sexual assault have taken basic rape statutes and developed a series of sex-related crimes, making matters even more complex.
Attorney Frank Stanley and his legal team defend against all sex crime charges, including:
- Solicitation of a minor
- Child and Internet pornography
- Sexual assault and rape
- Sexual battery
- Date rape and sexual imposition
- Public indecency
The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) requires that those convicted of most sex offenses register as a sex offender. This is in addition to incarceration and other penalties. Sex offender registration can often have more of a life-changing impact than other penalties.
Lack of witnesses does not prevent prosecution. Many sexual assault cases are "he said, she said" cases, as there are no witnesses. Sexual assault cases are usually prosecuted — even where the evidence seems weak or the accuser lacks credibility. Some people do make up false charges and the motives to do so are wide and varied: jealousy, revenge and simply to get attention — to name a few examples. Sometimes no motive is apparent. Such allegations can be made by adults or by children. The firm has experience rooting out these motives and gathering the facts necessary to defend the wrongly accused.
