Defense of Sexual Assault and Other Sex Crimes in Louisiana

Mounting a successful defense in a sex offenses case is a complex matter. In most cases, there are no witnesses besides the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator. In many cases, there is no physical evidence either. When a case comes down to the word of one person against another, it takes a lawyer with substantial investigative skills and trial work to accomplish a positive result for his client.

At Stockstill & Webre Trial Lawyers LLC in Lafayette, our primary focus is defending our clients' legal and Constitutional rights. Under the U.S. Constitution, every accused person is entitled to legal counsel — and we take our job seriously. Contact us to schedule a confidential consultation.

Experienced Defense for a Range of Sex Crimes Charges

Over the course of more than 15 years' practice as a criminal defense lawyer, attorney J. Kevin Stockstill has built a reputation as a strong and smart defense lawyer capable of handling even the most complex or unpopular criminal cases. He has significant and successful experience defending clients against a range of sex crimes, including:

The stakes are high in sex crimes cases. Not only does a convicted person face possible jail or prison time, he or she also faces the prospect of having to register as a sex offender with Louisiana's sex offender registry.

The sex offender registry, created by Louisiana law, is a publicly accessible database that contains personal information about convicted sex offenders — including the address where the person resides. Depending on the nature of the crime for which a person is convicted, he or she may have to remain on the registry for up to 10-15 years, or even for a lifetime.

At our firm, we understand the lifelong consequences of conviction for sexual assault and other sex crimes. Working to protect your rights and defend you from criminal charges, we always strive to receive the best possible verdict for you.

Eight Counts of Aggravated Rape — Not Guilty Verdict: Our client was charged with eight counts of aggravated rape. Each count carried a life sentence in prison. The prosecution alleged that our client had raped his own stepdaughter. The case went to a jury trial, where our client was found not guilty on all charges.

Child Molestation Charges — Not Guilty Verdict: Our client was accused of molesting a friend's daughter. The case was tried to a jury. During Mr. Stockstill's cross-examination of the victim, the defense was able to expose numerous inconsistencies.
