Cybersex Defense a Growing Practice Area

Vesna Jaksic The National Law Journal 02-22-2008

Five years ago, Internet sex crime allegations made up about 5 percent of Brad Bailey's criminal defense practice. Now it's at 20 percent.

... Criminal defense lawyers across the country said sex crimes involving the Internet -- such as online child pornography or using the Internet to solicit sex from minors -- are becoming a growing part of their workload. The increase has in part been fueled by a law enforcement crackdown.

... "We're seeing that most of these cases that are actually prosecuted are sting operations," Wyatt said.

... In Colorado, the district attorney for Jefferson and Gilpin counties has announced, through its Child Sex Offender Internet Investigation unit, a number of cases in January alone, including an arrest of a 20-year-old man for allegedly having sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl he met over the Internet, and arrests of a 27-year-old man and a 23-year-old man in separate cases involving Internet luring of children.
