Sex Crimes

Objective, Experienced Criminal Defense in Ohio

Public opinion often condemns those who have been accused of sex crimes. At the law office of Richard A. Cline in Columbus, Ohio, I am not here to judge you - I am here to defend you. With over 25 years of criminal defense experience, I will work hard to protect your rights and attack the prosecution's case against you in negotiation and in the courtroom.

Providing Objective Criminal Defense

Since 1981, I have dedicated my practice to providing a strong, personalized defense for every client. If you have been accused of a sex crime, you need a criminal defense attorney who will work hard to defend you without passing judgment. I have extensive experience defending clients against sex crimes charges, such as:

• Child pornography or enticement
• Child solicitation (also called importuning)
• Sexual assault or battery
• Gross sexual imposition (GSI)
• Rape
• Voyeurism (also known as peeping tom cases)
• Solicitation for prostitution
• Public indecency
• Trafficking in sex

Putting My Experience to Work for You

Every case is different, and the evidence in every case is unique. As part of our overall strategy, we can attack the way investigators obtained the evidence in your case, as well as the evidence itself. I have years of experience finding and exploiting flaws in the prosecution's case.

I have built a network of professionals, including psychologists and other experts, who testify about various aspects of my clients' cases in court. These contacts are invaluable in my criminal defense practice. It is important to have competent professionals who can provide their expert opinions in support of your position.

As a respected member of the Ohio legal community, I have received an AV rating* from my peers -the highest recognition for legal ability and ethical practice. I am Rule 20 Certified, and the courts have appointed me to represent defendants in death penalty cases in Ohio.
