If you have been accused of a sex crime, it is imperative that you speak to an experienced sex crimes defense lawyer as soon as possible.
Criminal defense attorney Mark A. Bederow has successfully defended clients accused of sex crimes. He represents clients charged with a wide range of sexual offenses, including:
- Sexual assault
- Rape
- Sexual misconduct, including statutory rape and date rape
- Manufacture, possession or distribution of child pornography

The Consequences of Conviction
The penalties for being convicted of a sex crime extend beyond fees, incarceration and probation. Those convicted of all but the least serious offenses may be subject to the Sexual Offender Registration Act, which may require publication of their names, photos, addresses and information about their crimes on the Internet.
If registered as a sex offender, you will bear a stigma that will likely make it very difficult to get a job or a place to live.
Manhattan Child Pornography Charge Attorney
Child pornography is generally a federal offense with severe punishment under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Our law firm has the experience and resources required to defend these cases, and when appropriate, present compelling mitigating factors supporting more lenient outcomes than required under the Guidelines.
Representing Those Falsely Accused of Child Molestation
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for people living in the same household or going through a divorce to make false allegations of child abuse or molestation. One party may use these damaging claims to gain advantage in a child custody dispute or to get the other party out of the house. In any case, it is important to have experienced, credible representation in these cases.
Mr. Bederow has represented several individuals in such predicaments, including a famous artist who was falsely accused of such conduct during a custody dispute. Mr. Bederow was successful in convincing the prosecutor to dismiss and seal all charges against his client, who was awarded full custody of his child.
