Criminal Defense Sex Offenses
Sex Offense Defense
A sex offense accusation, even one that is false or exaggerated, can destroy a person's life, reputation, career, and family before a single charge is ever filed. Todd Rash brings two decades of criminal defense experience and a dedicated team of experts to every sex offense case he handles.
The Stakes Could Not Be Higher
Sex offense charges carry consequences that extend far beyond prison time. A conviction, or even a plea to a lesser charge, can result in mandatory sex offender registration, which is public, permanent, and follows you for life. It affects where you can live, where you can work, and how you are perceived by everyone around you.
False accusations are more common than many people realize. Misidentifications occur. Allegations arise from contentious divorces, custody disputes, and personal vendettas. Digital evidence is misinterpreted. Todd Rash understands that the accused deserves a vigorous, thorough, and dignified defense, and that is exactly what he provides.
A Proven Track Record
Sex offense defense is one of Todd Rash's primary areas of focus and success. Over the course of his career, he has achieved dismissals and significant charge reductions in sex offense cases that other attorneys may consider unwinnable.
His success in these cases is not accidental. It is the result of early intervention, meticulous preparation, and a team of specialized experts assembled specifically to challenge the prosecution's evidence and present a compelling case for the accused.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique.
A Dedicated Team of Experts
Todd Rash does not approach sex offense cases alone. He assembles a team of specialized professionals whose expertise can make the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
Polygraph Experts
In appropriate cases, Todd Rash retains experienced polygraph examiners whose findings can be presented to prosecutors during plea negotiations, often before charges are formally filed. A favorable polygraph result can be a powerful tool in securing a dismissal or charge reduction.
Psychosexual Evaluators
Todd works with licensed psychologists who conduct thorough psychosexual evaluations. These experts can testify that a client does not possess the psychological profile, desires, or characteristics associated with sex offenders, directly countering the prosecution's narrative and humanizing the accused in the eyes of prosecutors, judges, and juries.
Private Investigators
Independent investigation is essential in sex offense cases. Todd Rash employs skilled private investigators to locate and interview witnesses, uncover inconsistencies in the accuser's account, and gather evidence the police may have overlooked or ignored.
Digital Forensics & IT Experts
In cases involving allegations of digital evidence, such as images or content found on phones, computers, or other devices, Todd retains highly capable information technology professionals who can testify that such content was not the result of intentional action by the accused. Malware, shared devices, cached files, and unauthorized access are among the technical defenses these experts can establish.

Understanding the Cost of a Serious Defense
A thorough sex offense defense is among the most resource-intensive areas of criminal law. Clients should be prepared for attorney fees comparable to those in murder and other serious felony cases, reflecting the complexity, time, and expertise these cases demand.
In addition to attorney fees, an effective defense often requires retaining outside experts: polygraph examiners, licensed psychologists for psychosexual evaluation, private investigators, and information technology professionals. These experts are not optional luxuries. In many cases, they are the difference between a conviction and a dismissal. Their fees are separate from attorney fees and are the responsibility of the client.
Todd Rash will be straightforward with you about the anticipated costs from the very first consultation. His commitment is to give every client the strongest possible defense, and that requires the right team, properly funded, from the beginning.
Why You Should Contact an Attorney Immediately
In sex offense cases, the window between an accusation and a formal charge is often the most critical period of the entire case. Evidence can be gathered, witnesses can be interviewed, and in some cases charges can be prevented from being filed at all.
If you have been accused of a sex offense, are under investigation, or have been contacted by law enforcement, do not speak to investigators without an attorney present. Contact Todd Rash immediately for a confidential consultation. Everything you share is protected by attorney-client privilege.
