Super Bowl Hero Gets 30 Year Sentence for Sex Crime

Posted on: November 11, 2010 at 7:52 p.m.

When a Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney represents someone charged with a sex crime, he must take every possible scenario into consideration in terms of the trial and sentencing. The current climate around the country toward sex offenders is highly prejudicial, meaning that lawyers must expect any jury to practically want to convict someone for a sex crime. This puts his client in an extremely difficult position, having to face a "guilty until proven innocent" attitude by the courts. This is why anyone charged with, accused of or arrested for a sex crime in Los Angeles should immediately contact a highly skilled, experienced Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney.

For example, former NFL player David Megget was sentenced to 30 years in prison for criminal sexual conduct and burglary. Megget was convicted in South Carolina in a case involving an encounter with a college student at her house in North Charleston in January of 2009. The former NFL hero played for the New York Giants, New York Jets and New England Patriots, winning a Super Bowl title with the Giants in 1991. In his nine year NFL career as a running back and punt returner, Megget rushed for 1,700 yards and had over 3,000 yards receiving. All that is in the past now as the 42 year old man is facing three decades in prison for his actions. Since his retirement from the NFL, he has faced continued legal challenges. In 1998, he was arrested after authorities said he allegedly assaulted an escort worker after a three way sexual encounter. In 2007, he was convicted of misdemeanor sexual batter in North Carolina, receiving two years' probation.

As you can see, if a Super Bowl hero can get 30 years in prison for a sex crime, then the "average joe" is in serious trouble in any sex offender trial. Contacting a Los Angeles Sex Crime Defense Attorney with a track record of success could be the difference between years in prison and freedom. Jail time is a scary scenario, but a real one for even a misdemeanor sex offense. Worse yet is being put on the Sex Offender Registry, which could mean a lifetime of limited career opportunities, living situations and more.
