Criminal defense for sex crimes.

Gold Legal, PLLC, works to secure dismissals for clients accused of sex crimes.

Sexual Offenses Against Minors

Charges involving minors are among the most serious in Texas, and the stakes reach past jail time to registration, reputation, and family. We understand the stakes, and we’re aggressive.

• Sexual Assault of a Child
• Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child
• Indecency with a Child

Depending on the offense, charges can range from a second-degree to a first-degree felony. But we do not roll over for prosecutors.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is generally a second-degree felony punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison, and certain circumstances raise it to a first-degree felony.

• Agresión y abuso sexual
• Violación estatutaria
• Exposición indecente

Statutory cases turn on precise facts and defenses, including Texas’s close-in-age provisions. We examine consent, credibility, and the evidence behind every allegation.

Online Solicitation of a Minor & Illegal Depiction of a Minor

Charges often rest on what the state says an individual believed and intended. It does not matter if the minor was actually an adult, if a meeting never took place, or if an image was never saved. Experienced defense counsel is critical.

• Solicitation, Depictions, & Deepfakes
• Possession or Promotion of Child Pornography
• Sexual Performance by a Child

Online solicitation starts at a third-degree felony and rises to a second-degree felony punishable by 2 to 20 years. Illegal depiction charges are graded by the number of images and can reach a first-degree felony. Intent is where these cases are won or lost, and we challenge it, along with the forensics and the search itself.
