Sexual Assault and Rape Defense Attorneys
Sex Crimes Lawyers • Sexual Abuse and Rape Charges

Being charged with rape, sexual assault, child molestation, or any sex crime can threaten your freedom now and your freedom of movement for the rest of your life. You need a criminal defense attorney who understands the law and who can effectively and aggressively defend your rights.

At Hark & Hark, we have defended over 25 of these case through a jury verdict. We are experienced in addressing all aspects of your charges. Motive for the accuser to go to the police is the first and foremost issue. Pre-trial discovery of the victim or the child's DHS records, prior sexual activity, and mental health records provide reasons why victims lie about sexual assaults. Delayed reporting cases in which victims wait more that one year to report the offense are our specialty. From the minute we are hired we protect your rights by talking to the police, negotiating bail, and then representing you at preliminary hearing and later trial.

From bail proceedings to cross-examination of witnesses at preliminary hearings and trial to DNA investigations, we will be on your side. We work to aggressively negotiate agreements with the prosecution, but we also have a record of significant victories when we take sex crime cases to trial.

In Pennsylvania, sex related offenses include Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Reckless Endangerment, False Imprisonment, Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Sexual Assault, and possession of Child Pornography.

Without knowing the facts of the case or investigating the rape or sex charges, the public and a person's friends and family often believes the worst simply because of an arrest or accusation - not a conviction. Contact the law firm of Hark & Hark to talk with an attorney who truly believes that a person is innocent until proven guilty. You have the right to a thorough investigation of the sexual assault or rape charges and a fair and impartial trial.

If you have been arrested for a sex crime, there may not be many people in your life you can count on or trust. You can count on your experienced criminal defense lawyer from Hark & Hark. We know the courts, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and the law in all the Pennsylvania and New Jersey jurisdictions we serve. You can count on us if you have been charged with any sex crime including:

  • Rape
  • Sexual assault
  • Involuntary deviant sexual intercourse (IDSI)
  • Child sexual abuse
  • Molestation
  • Internet sex crimes
  • Child pornography
  • Internet solicitation

The mere accusation or investigation of a person for a sex crime can ruin a person's reputation. Conviction of a sexual assault, rape or other sex crime may result in lifetime registration as a sex offender under Megan's Law and other federal laws protecting children. Since a sex crime can severely affect your life, you need an aggressive, experienced lawyer to fight for your rights and protect your good name.
