Rape, also called sexual assault, is a heinous crime. It can severely harm the victims physically and psychologically, and often leads to life-long effects. Perpetrators of this violent crime face harsh consequences and should be brought to justice. Unfortunately, rape accusations are often inappropriately leveled at innocent individuals. Some men and women use rape allegations as a means of revenge. Others come forward with these claims after a misunderstanding or due to regret. In some situations, allegations can be proven false before prosecutors ask a grand jury for an indictment. However, other cases can lead to state or federal rape charges.

He has decades of experience defending against sex crime allegations in state and federal courts, and will tenaciously fight for the best possible outcome in your case. Call (281) 524-2407 to discuss your case with attorney Barnett in a free and confidential consultation.
