By their very nature, sex crimes generate a serious reaction from prosecutors and from society. Sexual tourism-prosecution of an individual who travels to a foreign country to engage in sex with a minor-is one such crime. The mere mention of such a crime will destroy families and reputations.
That is why it is vitally important to have an attorney represent the accused as early as possible in these cases. With aggressive investigation and lawyering, the Pennsylvania and New Jersey criminal defense attorneys at Levin & Zeiger, LLP have convinced authorities to drop and dismiss cases at their inception, before reputations are ruined. When cases do go forward, our criminal defense attorneys understand the various crimes that a person may be charged with, and we aggressively and zealously will defend you against these charges.
At Levin & Zeiger, LLP, we understand the PROTECT Act, the Department of Homeland Security's "Operation Predator" and other laws governing a charge of "sexual tourism." There are many defenses to assert. We investigate law enforcement procedures, exploring issues of entrapment, and present your strongest defense possible. Further, we challenge the criminal charge of sexual tourism itself. First, the charge involves conduct in a foreign country, outside the province of the United States. Second, many are prosecuted for "attempting" to have sex with a minor (e.g., after buying a "sex tourism trip" or "sex vacation" through a travel agency), even before they have left the country and committed any illicit act.
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey criminal defense lawyers at Levin & Zeiger, LLP understand the laws, rules and procedures necessary to defend clients charged with sexual tourism, and we fight to obtain the best results for our clients. We advocate zealously, never forgetting that our most important goal is obtaining the best results for our clients, whether that means fighting procedural battles or representing our clients before a judge or jury. We work hard for our clients, explaining their options and keeping them updated about the status of their cases.
When you need a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or New Jersey criminal defense attorney to defend you when you have been arrested and charged with sexual tourism, contact Levin & Zeiger, LLP, whose goal is to represent every client zealously in order to obtain the best results possible in each case.
