Defense Against Child Abuse and Statutory Rape Charges
Any case of sexual assault presents a serious risk of punishment for the defendant, but when the victim is a child, the risks are all the greater. Conviction might not only send you to prison for years, but could even subject you to civil commitment for an indefinite period after the completion of your sentence. Given the nature of what's at stake, you should consider working with a defense attorney with a statewide reputation for excellence in sex crime defense.
Criminal trial lawyer Robert LeBell has more than 35 years of defense experience, with much of it focused on serious state and federal sex offenses. Contact LeBell, Dobroski and Morgan in Milwaukee for a free consultation about your options for meeting the challenge of child sex abuse charges.

Mr. LeBell's familiarity with the legal, factual and personal factors involved with sexual assault or child abuse charges allows him to help clients meet several sets of problems at once: (1) evaluating your actual and potential risk of punishment, (2) finding the weaknesses of fact or law in the government's charges against you, (3) identifying the steps you can take right now to improve your position in plea negotiations or sentencing, and (4) anticipating and assessing your future risk of civil commitment or sex offender registration.
For some people, our law firm will work in a fifth area of concern as well — the effect of a sex crime prosecution or conviction on your current job or professional license. Our ability to develop and present your defense across a range of dimensions simultaneously can represent a powerful advantage for anyone accused of child sexual abuse in any form, including:
- Child molestation, lewd conduct or indecent exposure
- Statutory rape
- Unlawful consensual sex between minors
- Online solicitation of a child for sex
- Child pornography
- Incest or child sexual abuse within a family
- Sex crime charges against teachers, doctors, nurses, child care workers or others in a position of authority over children
- Federal prosecution of sex crimes involving children
