Fast responses, clear guidance, and immediate action when your case can’t wait
Our San Diego sex crimes defense attorneys start building your defense the moment an accusation surfaces, before any charges are filed.
Key Takeaways:
A sex crime accusation in San Diego doesn’t wait for the accused to explain their side first. Police can open an investigation, gather statements, and request an arrest warrant days before the person named in it ever answers a call from a detective.
At the Law Offices of Anna R. Yum | Criminal Attorneys, our compassionate San Diego sex crimes defense attorneys include a former prosecutor who spent years building these cases from the other side. We know which pieces of evidence carry weight with a jury and which fall apart under scrutiny, and our team is available around the clock once you call.

A felony accusation covers offenses like rape under Penal Code 261 and sexual battery, and it carries the possibility of state prison time even for a first arrest.
Sex offender registration under Penal Code 290 can follow certain convictions for years or for life, separate from any jail or prison sentence a judge imposes.
A misdemeanor charge, such as some indecent exposure or battery cases, still carries real consequences, including a criminal record that shows up on background checks for jobs and housing.
San Diego Police Department’s Sex Crimes Unit investigates felony sexual assault allegations involving victims 14 and older, while a separate unit handles younger children, so which unit opens the file often signals how seriously prosecutors will treat it from the start.
The alleged relationship between the parties can also change the charge filed and which court calendar handles it, since some cases move through a dedicated docket rather than the general criminal calendar.

Once we’re involved, we help you avoid these missteps while we work through the specific facts of your arrest.
