If You Find Yourself Under Investigation for a Sex Crime, You Need the Right Attorney on Your Side

If you become the subject of a sex crime investigation, it is absolutely critical that you hire an experienced defense attorney, even if you think the charges are mistaken, exaggerated, or just plain fabricated. Unfortunately, sexual misconduct accusations can be made by anyone regardless of whether any physical evidence exists; all it may take to get an investigation started is one individual making a verbal allegation. Law enforcement and prosecutors have no choice to pursue such allegations, and when a case may depend upon a "he said, she said" scenario, there is no telling whom a prosecutor is going to believe.

Saginaw, Michigan, is the county seat of Saginaw County, and is part of the Flint/Tri-Cities region (that is, Flint, Bay City, and Midland) of Michigan. The population of Saginaw is 55,238. During the 19th Century, Saginaw became the center of the lumber industry and was the site for several sawmills, which shipped lumber from the Saginaw River out to the Great Lakes. During the 20th Century, Saginaw's economy depended upon automobile part manufacturing plants. The population swelled as a result of this industry, but as manufacturing declined toward the end of the 20th century, so did the population and the standard of living. In recent years, high unemployment and poverty have exacerbated Saginaw's crime problems, and the crime rate remains much higher than the national average. There were 389 sex offenders registered as living in Saginaw as of April 2010, making the ration of residents to sex offenders a very high average of 137 to one.
