Defense of Statutory Rape and Other Sex Crime Charges
Texas criminal defense attorney Lane Thibodeaux advises and represents people charged with sex crimes involving minors. Most of the cases our law firm handles involve sex between people who know each other; many cases also involve current or recent dating relationships. Under Texas law, however, a person under 14 can't lawfully consent to sex, and a person between 14 and 17 can only consent to sex with someone less than 36 months older.
