Sex Offenses

The law firm of Ray Bassel has handled hundreds of jury trials in Washington and Tillamook counties, including cases involving sex crimes such as rape, sexual abuse, sexual penetration and sodomy.

Few people are aware of the consequences of being convicted of a sex crime in Oregon. In addition to mandatory minimum sentences under Oregon’s Measure 11 law, for most sex crimes you will have to register as a sex offender in the community where you live for a minimum of ten years, and possibly for the rest of your life.

If you face an Oregon sex crime charge, contact our law firm before you talk to anyone else. We will:

• Put a layer of insulation between you and the police so that all contacts will have to go through us.
  
  
• Get in touch with the district attorney and obtain all of the information about your case that we are entitled to have.
  
  
• Be present when the police investigate your case.
  
  
• Use our own team of investigators and forensics specialists to challenge the state’s evidence and present mitigating evidence to support your case.
  
  
• Look into background of the person who is making the accusation against you.
  
  
• Minimize the charges through plea negotiations to a sex offense charge that does not require you to register as a sex offender if appropriate.
  
  
• Prepare your case for trail and provide you a vigorous courtroom defense.

Many of our clients are first-time offenders who are scared because they don’t know what the state will do to them. Talk to us first and we will make sure you understand what is going to happen each step of the way. We will provide experience when you need it the most.
