Internet Sex Crime Defense
Discreet, Aggressive Defense Against Internet Sex Crime Allegations
At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm PLLC, we handle internet sex crime cases with absolute discretion, technical precision, and aggressive litigation strategy. We understand that these prosecutions are often driven by sting operations, entrapment tactics, and overbroad digital searches, rather than by actual victims or completed acts.
We defend clients throughout Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties, where prosecutors pursue these cases relentlessly, and judges impose some of the harshest conditions in the criminal system.
Common Internet Sex Crime Charges We Defend
- Solicitation or attempted solicitation
- Accusations arising from online chat or messaging platforms
- Possession or alleged possession of illegal digital content
- Distribution or intent-to-distribute allegations
- Charges stemming from undercover sting operations
How Internet Sex Crime Cases Are Actually Built
- Undercover officers posing online
- Selective chat logs taken out of context
- IP address assumptions
- Broad search warrants for electronic devices
- Forensic analysis performed by government agents
Entrapment and Sting Operations
Entrapment defenses focus on:
- Who initiated contact
- Whether law enforcement induced criminal behavior
- Whether the accused was predisposed to commit a crime
Improper sting tactics can invalidate entire prosecutions when attacked.
Search, Seizure, and Digital Evidence Challenges
Digital evidence is not immune from constitutional scrutiny. We aggressively challenge:
- Overbroad or unsupported search warrants
- Illegal seizure of phones, computers, and storage devices
- Chain-of-custody failures
- Improper forensic analysis
- Evidence obtained outside warrant scope
When digital evidence is suppressed, the prosecution’s case often collapses.
Penalties, Registration, and Lifetime Consequences
Internet sex crime convictions can trigger:
- Prison or jail sentences
- Lifetime probation in some cases
- Mandatory sex offender registration
- Severe restrictions on housing, employment, and internet use
- Public exposure and stigma
- Devastating immigration consequences, including mandatory removal
These are life-altering penalties, not temporary setbacks.
Bond Conditions and Pretrial Restrictions
Courts frequently impose extreme bond conditions, including:
- Internet bans
- Device restrictions
- GPS monitoring
- No-contact orders
These conditions can cripple employment and family life. Early legal intervention is essential.
How We Defend Internet Sex Crime Allegations
We approach every case as a high-stakes trial prosecution, focusing on:
- Challenging entrapment and inducement
- Suppressing unlawfully obtained digital evidence
- Attacking forensic reliability and assumptions
- Exposing selective evidence presentation
- Preventing unnecessary registration exposure
- Preparing cases for jury trial when required
Discretion, speed, and precision matter.
