Sex with a Minor Charges in Texas

San Antonio Criminal Defense Attorney

Sex with a minor charges are extremely severe. Even if the victim gave consent to the act, it can still be criminally prosecuted. Children under the age of 18 are not considered mentally experienced enough to make a decision to have sex with someone over the age of 18, therefore one who does can be charged with statutory rape or sex with a minor. Unfortunately, some people are charged with sex with a minor only after finding that they were lied to by the minor regarding their age. The defendant may have had a good reason to believe that the minor was over the age of 18. Sex crimes are some of the most heavily punished of criminal offenses in our state, including child abuse, molestation, and child pornography.
