sex crimes

Andrew Searle has extensive experience in this area.  As an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan, Andrew served in the Sex Crimes Unit, where he learned how to investigate and prosecute these types of cases.   During his tenure as a federal prosecutor, Andrew handled dozens of federal sex crimes, including child pornography, online enticement of minors, and sexual assaults on federal territories.   

Sex crimes can carry significant penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.  Moreover, because of the social stigma associated with these types of cases, even being accused of such a crime can result in reputational harm that can last a lifetime. 

Andrew has the skills and experience to clinically assess the strengths and weaknesses of a sex crimes prosecution.  Through this process, Andrew will point out the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case with the goal of avoiding charges altogether or resolving the matter favorably before trial.  At the same time, if a trial becomes necessary, Andrew Searle will bring the same skills and abilities he used as a prosecutor to defend you in your case.
