Teller County Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer
Sex crime allegations in Teller County, Colorado carry some of the most severe and lasting consequences under state law. A conviction can result in prison time, mandatory sex offender registration, strict supervision requirements, and permanent damage to your reputation.
Prosecutors in the 4th Judicial District aggressively pursue sex crime cases, even in smaller mountain communities like Cripple Creek and Woodland Park. If you are under investigation or facing charges, you need immediate legal strategy.
At Pav Law, we defend clients throughout Teller County against serious sex crime allegations. We approach these cases with discretion, preparation, and an unwavering commitment to protecting your future.
Common Sex Crime Charges in Teller County
We defend clients accused of offenses including:
- Sexual Assault
- Unlawful Sexual Contact
- Sexual Assault on a Child
- Internet luring or exploitation allegations
- Indecent exposure
- Failure to register as a sex offender
Many of these charges qualify as felonies and carry mandatory sentencing ranges.
Sexual Assault vs. Unlawful Sexual Contact
Colorado distinguishes between different types of sex offenses based on the alleged conduct.
Sexual Assault generally involves allegations of non-consensual sexual penetration.
Unlawful Sexual Contact involves allegations of non-consensual sexual touching without penetration.
Both charges are serious. The difference often turns on interpretation of events, credibility of witnesses, and the presence—or absence—of physical evidence.
How Sex Crime Allegations Commonly Arise in Teller County
In Teller County, sex crime cases often arise from:
- Relationship disputes
- Alcohol-related encounters
- Conflicting accounts of consent
- Delayed reporting
- Online communications
In smaller communities, social circles often overlap. Allegations can spread quickly and create reputational harm before a case ever reaches trial.
Law enforcement may rely heavily on interviews and statements rather than physical evidence. We scrutinize every investigative step.
False Allegations and Misinterpretations
Sex crime cases frequently hinge on credibility and interpretation. False or exaggerated allegations may arise from:
- Breakups
- Custody disputes
- Regret after consensual encounters
- Miscommunication about consent
- Social or community pressure
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. An accusation does not equal guilt. Prosecutors must prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt. We require them to meet that burden.
Sex Offender Registration Consequences
A conviction for certain sex offenses may require:
- Mandatory sex offender registration
- Regular reporting requirements
- Residency restrictions
- Employment limitations
- Ongoing monitoring
These consequences can last for years—or life. Early defense strategy is critical.
Penalties for Sex Crime Convictions
