NBA and Los Angeles Sex Crime Attorneys

Posted on: July 23, 2011 at 10:43 p.m.

The city of Los Angeles houses two NBA teams, the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. In that time, they have had their share of sex crime accusations and sex scandals. Los Angeles Sex Crime Attorneys are paying special attention to a new case involving former NBA All Star Steve Francis who was recently accused of sexual assault. Francis, who played for the Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic and New York Knicks, was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Texas last year according to TMZ.com. The police report states that Francis allegedly touched a 20 year old woman inappropriately through her clothes. The woman immediately went to the police to file a complaint. According to reports, the woman is a singer who was signed to Francis' record label on the day of the alleged incident. Her name is Shauna Simien and she said that the groping took place while the two were outside talking; Francis allegedly reached down and grabbed between her legs. After screaming at Francis, the woman's friends came and helped her according to reports. The case was filed a year ago, but the district attorney's office has not filed any charges yet. The woman is considering filing a lawsuit against the office, which may provoke the DA to move forward with the case. In that instance, Francis will need a Los Angeles Sex Crime Attorney with a particular skill in defending high profile personalities in these types of cases.

As you can see, sex crime accusations are complicated and dealing with the crime can take years. Police have to investigate charges, even in cases such as this when it is seemingly "he said, she said." There does not appear to be any evidence, other than the woman's accusation, which means she may have a hard time proving that she was indeed sexually assaulted. Francis, who won rookie of the year in 2000 and went to the NBA all star game from 2002 through 2004, will need a Los Angeles Sex Crime Attorney who not only understands the charges, but who understands how complicated these types of cases can get. Emotions run high, and anyone accused of sexual assault can become a public target of women's groups and other civil rights organizations.
