Rochester Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

Accomplished attorney representing individuals accused of sexual assault in the Rochester area

New York lists more than 20 variants of sex offenses in Penal Code Article 130, and someone accused of this serious crime needs expert advice in understanding the various elements and defenses. Attorney James L. Riotto not only has experience defending these matters successfully, but also understands the investigation of these crimes from his police and prosecutorial background.

Unlike other crimes, sexual offense cases often center not on whether the alleged conduct occurred, but whether it was consensual. This requires a detailed understanding of investigative techniques and witness analysis. Whether accused of rape, sexual abuse, or criminal sexual act, someone accused of a sexual crime needs a lawyer like Mr. Riotto who succeeds both in the courtroom and during the vital discovery process.

Mr. Riotto will work diligently to deliver strongest defense possible. He knows that an unjust conviction might not only require prison time, but inclusion on the New York State Sex Offender Registry, which requires community notification. This can affect someone’s job and home not only in the Rochester area, but throughout the country permanently. We represent clients at hearings under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA), arguing for reduction of classification and lower levels of notification.
