International Sex Crime Defense AttorneysSex CrimesBeing charged with a sex crime is a harrowing experience. Media speculation and public outcry leads to harassment, intimidation and even violence. Imagine how much more wrenching the experience must be for a friend or loved one travelling abroad. Language and cultural differences isolate the traveler charged with a sex crime, making the trying task of navigating an alien judicial system even more difficult. Americans easily forget that the civil rights they enjoy as U.S. citizens may not follow them in their travels. Trial by jury, search and seizure protection and other basic U.S. legal rights may not apply in a sex crimes case in a foreign country. The punishments for sex crimes may be considerably harsher than in the United States, and may include terms of forced labor and long jail sentences. More serious sex crimes, such as rape, may be punishable by death. Foreign governments are cracking down on sex crimes and many countries are actively cooperating with U.S. officials to fight certain types of sex crimes. In Cambodia, the government works with officials from the U.S. Department of Justice to extradite U.S. travelers accused of sex crimes. Once back home they will stand trial, even though the alleged crimes took place on foreign soil. Although the accused will have access to their accustomed legal rights in cases like these, the stakes can be much higher. These types of trials tend to attract more publicity and pose a greater threat to the accused person’s reputation. No matter where a trial takes place, the family and friends of those accused of a sex crime while travelling overseas can benefit from effective, knowledgeable legal counsel.
