Orlando Sex Crimes Lawyer — Free Consultation

Sex crime allegations carry among the most severe consequences in Florida criminal law. A conviction can result in decades in state prison, mandatory sex offender registration for life, strict residency restrictions that limit where you can live and work, employment barriers that follow you forever, and a social stigma that persists even if you are ultimately acquitted. The moment an accusation is made, your life changes — which is why you need an experienced sex crimes defense lawyer from day one.

At ANT Law Firm, we understand the deeply sensitive nature of sex crime cases and the urgency they demand. Our Orlando sex crimes attorneys aggressively defend our clients while maintaining the utmost discretion. We investigate the accuser's motives, challenge forensic evidence, retain independent experts, and hold the state to its constitutional burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Every detail matters — and we leave nothing unexamined.

Many sex crime cases in Florida rely on testimony alone — no physical evidence, no witnesses, no forensic corroboration. Experienced defense attorneys know how to challenge credibility, expose inconsistencies in the accuser's statements, and present exculpatory evidence that the prosecution overlooked or withheld. A sex crime charge is not a sex crime conviction — and the right lawyer makes all the difference.

Sexual Battery (§ 794.011): Penalties range from a second-degree felony (up to 15 years in prison) for sexual battery on an adult without aggravating factors, to a first-degree felony (up to 30 years to life) when force or a weapon is involved, to a capital felony carrying mandatory life without parole for sexual battery on a child under 12. All sexual battery convictions require mandatory sex offender registration for life.

Lewd & Lascivious Offenses (§ 800.04): Lewd or lascivious battery on a victim aged 12–15 is a second-degree felony carrying up to 15 years in prison.

Child Pornography (§ 827.071): Possession of child sexual abuse material is a third-degree felony in Florida carrying up to 5 years per count. Distribution is a second-degree felony (up to 15 years).
