Protecting Your Child’s Future In Juvenile Sex Offense Cases
Young people are becoming sexually active at increasingly early ages, and many do not realize that their activities violate Pennsylvania law. A conviction for a juvenile sex offense can have a devastating impact on your child’s future and result in severe penalties. No matter what type of offense is being alleged or what the circumstances of the incident may have been, be sure that you have a qualified defense lawyer from the start.

- Rape, including the rape of a child
