Sex Crimes, Church Pastors and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys

Posted on: March 25, 2011 at 1:03 a.m.

Defending a sex crime in Los Angeles requires a knowledgeable lawyer with experience defending people charged with often disgusting crimes. Unfortunately, people render a verdict regardless of the facts, making the court of public opinion far more severe than a jury of a person's peers. A recent sex crime in San Clemente highlights just how important it is to have a Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney working for you, especially if the crime involves a youth.

A former youth pastor in San Clemente was charged with molesting a female church member, starting when she was only 14 years old, according to Orange County prosecutors. The man was a youth pastor at Pacific Coast Church in San Clemente from 1990 until 2000, he now lives in Texas. While he has not yet hired a Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney, he is facing serious jail time due to the details of the case. He is accused of committing the molestation between 1993 and 1996, starting when the girl was just 14. He had met the girl in 1993 and the woman alleges that he molested her in the church office, while driving around San Clemente and in his home in San Clemente. In Texas, he was a volunteer Bible study teacher at a Baptist church in Lindale, Texas and was a counselor for high school students at a Christian camp and ministry. The authorities are attempting to have the man extradited from Texas where he is currently being held without bail.

The nature of the allegations are terrible, however - an accusation is in no way a conviction, nor does it mean these are facts. They are just that, accusations. The man has made no admission of guilt, nor has evidence of the case been shown. As all Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys know, these cases are primarily based on here say and speculation. This means there is no hard evidence. However, when parents and community members hear about cases like this, they often decide the person's guilt immediately. This is another reason why a skilled lawyer is so important in any sex offense case.
