Arapahoe County Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer
Being accused of a sex crime in Arapahoe County, Colorado can change your life immediately. These cases are prosecuted aggressively in the 18th Judicial District and handled at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial, where allegations often trigger strict bond conditions, no-contact orders, and intense investigative scrutiny.
If you were charged in Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Littleton, Greenwood Village, or Glendale, you need immediate and strategic legal representation. At Pav Law, we defend clients against misdemeanor and felony sex crime allegations with focused, trial-ready preparation tailored to Arapahoe County courts.
Common Sex Crime Charges in Arapahoe County
We defend clients accused of:
- Sexual Assault
- Unlawful Sexual Contact
- Sexual Assault on a Child
- Internet Luring of a Minor
- Indecent Exposure
- Sexual Exploitation Allegations
- Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
These charges often carry felony exposure and long-term registration requirements.
Sexual Assault vs. Unlawful Sexual Contact
While both are serious allegations, Colorado law distinguishes between:
Sexual Assault
Typically involves allegations of non-consensual sexual penetration or coercion. These cases often carry severe felony penalties and potential lifetime consequences.
Unlawful Sexual Contact
Involves allegations of non-consensual sexual contact without penetration. These cases may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the circumstances.
Each case requires a careful analysis of consent, credibility, and evidence.
How Sex Crime Investigations Begin in Arapahoe County
In metro areas like Aurora, investigations frequently involve:
- Recorded interviews
- Digital communications (texts, Snapchat, Instagram, dating apps)
- Phone and device data
- Surveillance footage
- Forensic examinations
Law enforcement may contact individuals before charges are formally filed. Speaking to investigators without counsel can significantly affect the outcome.
Early legal intervention matters.
False Allegations and Credibility Issues
Sex crime cases often turn on credibility. In emotionally charged situations—such as breakups, custody disputes, or social conflicts—allegations may not tell the full story.
Attorney Andrew Brown brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to these cases, having experienced firsthand what it is like to be falsely accused of sexual assault, and he understands both the legal and emotional toll such allegations can take.
We approach these cases with careful analysis, strategic preparation, and a commitment to uncovering the truth.
Bond Conditions in the 18th Judicial District
Sex crime allegations often result in:
- Strict no-contact orders
- GPS monitoring
- Restrictions on internet use
- Restrictions on being around minors
- Travel limitations
Bond hearings in Arapahoe County can be high-stakes. We advocate early to protect your rights and reasonable living conditions while the case is pending.
Sex Offender Registration Consequences
Certain convictions may require:
- Mandatory sex offender registration
- Ongoing reporting obligations
- Residency restrictions
- Employment limitations
These consequences can extend for years—or even a lifetime—depending on the charge.
Avoiding or reducing registration exposure is often a central defense priority.
Digital Evidence in Metro Prosecutions
In Aurora and surrounding cities, prosecutors frequently rely on:
- Text message records
- Social media content
- App-based communication
- Location tracking data
We examine:
- Context of communications
- Mutual interaction patterns
- Consent indicators
- Chain of custody for electronic evidence
- Potential constitutional violations
Screenshots alone rarely tell the full story.
Potential Penalties for Sex Crime Convictions
Convictions may result in:
- Lengthy prison sentences
- Mandatory parole
- Probation with strict supervision
- Sex offender treatment programs
- Registration requirements
- Permanent felony record
Felony convictions can permanently affect employment, housing, and professional licensing.
