How Sex Crime Charges Are Handled in Georgetown

Sex crime cases in Georgetown move through the criminal justice process governed by Texas law, with key steps carried out at the county level. 

After a charge is filed, local law enforcement — such as the Georgetown Police Department or the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office — typically handles the investigation. Most cases proceed through the Williamson County Justice Center, where local judges and prosecutors follow strict procedural rules and deadlines. 

We have guided clients through these court processes for years, so we know how Williamson County courts function and how local prosecutors often build their cases. The approach to sex crime cases can vary in Central Texas, as community attitudes and court expectations play a role in every stage. By understanding these local standards, we can offer more effective counsel and adapt our trial strategies for judges and jurors in Georgetown.

If you or a loved one faces an accusation, taking swift action increases your legal options and can help preserve important evidence. Since Texas law imposes severe penalties for sex offenses, it is crucial to have legal guidance familiar with Georgetown and local protocols. Our experience with area agencies, backed by board certification, allows us to offer steady support from arrest through each step in the Williamson County Justice Center.

Common Sex Crime Allegations

Whatever charges you or your loved one is facing, don’t hesitate to call us. Some of the most frequent sex crime charges include: 

  • Sexual assault. This involves non-consensual sexual contact or intercourse, often based on claims of force, coercion, or incapacitation of the alleged victim.
  • Indecency with a child. This charge covers inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 17, either through physical contact or exposure.
  • Possession of child pornography. Being found with explicit materials featuring children under 18 is classified as possession of child pornography.
  • Online solicitation of a minor. This involves using the Internet or electronic communication to request or arrange sexual contact with a minor under the age of 17.

Many sex crime charges involve digital evidence and investigations that can engage multiple agencies, including local police, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, and sometimes state or federal authorities. If you learn of an investigation or face charges, contact a sex crime attorney as soon as possible. Prompt action often protects key evidence or addresses misunderstandings quickly.

  • Are plea agreements common in sex crimes cases?
    Yes, plea agreements are often negotiated in sex crime cases. These agreements may help reduce charges, lessen penalties, or avoid trial altogether, particularly in cases with circumstantial evidence or significant risks in court proceedings. For example, an individual initially charged with a serious felony might negotiate a plea to a lesser misdemeanor offense.
  • How does entrapment apply to online solicitation of minor cases?
    Entrapment occurs when law enforcement induces someone to commit a crime they wouldn’t have committed otherwise. For online solicitation of a minor, this defense may apply if officers initiated contact, used deceptive practices, or pressured the accused into illegal behavior. To claim entrapment, the defendant must prove they lacked criminal intent before police intervention. Our office can carefully analyze online communication logs and law enforcement behavior to assess entrapment.
  • What is the Texas Sex Offender Registry, and how does it work?
    The Texas Sex Offender Registry is a public database listing individuals convicted of certain sex crimes. Convicted offenders must regularly update their status, including their address, employment, and other details. Failure to comply can result in additional charges. Registry requirements vary based on the seriousness of the offense, and some people may face lifetime registration. Being on the registry has significant social and professional consequences, such as restrictions on where you can live or work.
  • What constitutes consent in a sexual assault case?

    Consent means clear agreement to participate in a sexual act, communicated freely, and without coercion, force, or incapacitation. Texas law emphasizes that individuals cannot consent if they are unconscious, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or underage.
