Undercover Sting Operations and Internet Crimes

Most Internet crimes investigations involve an undercover sting operation, where the accused offender gets arrested when they go to meet the "child." Shows like Dateline and "To Catch a Predator" have increased the popularity of these operations and often leave defendants in cases of borderline entrapment. Your attorney will take an aggressive approach to protect your rights from the investigation through to trial in cases involving solicitation of a child.

Internet crimes often require extensive investigation to defend. We take a comprehensive approach that scrutinizes evidence involving what was said to whom, whether the undercover cop provided an age, and which party introduced the idea of a meeting. All of these facts will play an important role in whether your case can be dismissed.

Protecting Your 4 th Amendment Rights

You have 4 th Amendment rights that could be potentially violated during an undercover sting operation. Whether your person, office, home computer, or cell phone is under surveillance, you have the right to challenge evidence unlawfully obtained against you. Your attorney will review police records leading up to your arrest and wage an aggressive defense to ensure that your Constitutional rights were not trodden upon in the process of investigation or arrest.
