If you face sex crime charges in St. Petersburg, it is in your best interest to meet with a skilled St. Petersburg sex crimes defense attorney who will vigorously fight to preclude evidence obtained without a valid search warrant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evidence Against the Defendant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allegedly, the police began investigating the defendant after a woman contacted the police department and reported the defendant was having sex with the woman&#8217;s sister, who was a minor. A child protective team interviewed the minor, who explained that she and the defendant exchanged sexual messages through text, and via two different messaging applications, and eventually began a sexual relationship. The police found messages on the minor\u2019s phone from the defendant in one application, but could not retrieve messages from the other application. The police then obtained a warrant to search the defendant\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpetersburgcriminalattorney.net\/blog\/florida-court-explains-factors-indicating-voluntary-consent-to-a-warrantless-search\/#more-537\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are charged with a sex crime, it is important to understand what evidence the state will attempt to use against you.
