Los Angeles Sex Offense

Los Angeles sex offenses have a variety of penalties, including jail time, probation, orders of protection, placement on the California Sex Offender Registry and more.  When a Los Angeles sex offense involves an authority figure, the level of hostility toward the alleged perpetrator increases.  For example, certain members of the Los Angeles archdiocese have been implicated in Los Angeles sex offense crime, linking them to the molestation of children over the last twenty or thirty years.

A recent investigation by the United States attorney's office in Los Angeles is using the testimony of a Los Angeles priest, convicted of molesting two boys.  The investigation has to do with Cardinal Mahoney's handing of the Los Angeles sex offenses over the years.  Allegedly, the LA priest informed the Cardinal of the fact that he molested two boys, but the Cardinal allowed the priest to continue working in his role as a priest.

The investigation seeks to determine whether Cardinal Mahoney, and other church leaders, committed fraud in covering up the criminal investigations of these and other Los Angeles sex offense crimes.  The archdiocese has paid hundreds of millions of dollars to alleged molestation victims, but these criminal investigations continue.

Los Angeles sex offense crimes include rape, prostitution, child abuse, sexual abuse, statutory rape, child pornography and much more.  When state or federal authorities prosecute any Los Angeles sex offense crimes, they assign the best attorneys possible, which means the defendant needs a top-notch criminal defense attorney on their side.
