Dziedziak & Marcus - Chicago Sex Crime Defense Attorneys

If you have been arrested for rape, child sex abuse, or any other sex crime, contact Chicago sexual assault defense lawyer James Marcus of Dziedziak & Marcus . With 30 years of criminal trial experience, he'll make a thorough investigation of the charges against you and the circumstances that might either reduce the severity of the allegations or exonerate you. With the help of forensic experts, he can also develop and present a defense based on motive, behavior, perception, or intention in cases such as date rape, acquaintance rape, or child abuse, where issues such as consent or exaggeration can be sharply disputed.

Illinois criminal defense attorney James Marcus is thoroughly familiar with the defense of cases charged under the Illinois Criminal Sexual Assault Statute, and can represent you on charges of or arrests for:

  • Rape, criminal sexual assault, or aggravated sexual assault
  • Criminal sexual abuse and aggravated sexual abuse
  • Date rape, spousal rape, or acquaintance rape
  • Indecent exposure or child molestation
  • Statutory rape or consensual sex between adolescents

Chicago sexual assault defense attorney James Marcus also handles federal sex crimes involving the Internet or interstate prostitution cases under the Mann Act. He can represent clients in Illinois and elsewhere in the United States on charges such as the following:

  • Possession or distribution of child pornography over the Internet
  • Solicitation of a minor for sex over the Internet
  • Prostitution over the Internet

Internet sex crimes frequently involve a law enforcement officer's impersonation of a minor in a chat room, or involve the linking of one website to another where police or FBI agents are in essence promoting criminal behavior. Cases like these are very often ripe for the development of an effective entrapment defense.
