Rape

The state of Michigan defines rape as forcing or coercing an individual to engage in any non-consensual sexual act or penetration. While this can include a large variety of situations, over 80% of rapes are between individuals who are acquaintances, and more than 50% happen on dates. These situations can be highly complex and subjective, requiring the honed knowledge of the associates at Gentry and Nalley.

Prostitution

Prostitution is the act of engaging in sexual activity for pay. Due to the nature of choice in both parties, Michigan law does not define prostitution. In many states, it has come to be known as a “victimless crime,” but can still have dire effects on the accused. Gentry Nalley can be trusted to untangle the complicated web of accusation, intentions and actions that are involved with accusations of soliciting and providing prostitution.

Internet Sex Crimes

Internet sex crimes refers to any form of criminal activity of a sexual nature that involves the internet. This refers to both the production and consumption of child pornography, online communication with minors, including plans to meet up, and conspiracy crimes. As use of the Internet has become accessible to nearly any human through many means, cases such as these have risen at an alarming rate. Gentry Nalley’s expertise is crucial when understanding how to navigate this accusation.

Child Sexual Abuse

Child sexual abuse is when a person has had sexual contact with a child. Examples of child sexual abuse might include sexual touching, penetration, manipulating the child to do something sexual or taking graphic photos of children. Clients facing this potential criminal charge need skilled experts who are adept with making certain your case is being handled with precision and sensitivity. Gentry Nalley’s team is prepared to do just that.

Indecent Exposure

Michigan defines this as any individual who exposes his or her person to another individual’s person and does so knowingly, in a way that is open or indecent. This is a misdemeanor offense that can have dire effects on the reputation of the accused. Gentry Nalley offers unmatched competence to those facing such charges.

Assault with Intent to Commit a Felony

Juvenile Sex Crimes

Gentry Nalley firmly believes all humans are deserving of thorough legal support when they are at their most vulnerable. This is includes minors on both sides of an accusation.
