Peter Aiken defends people accused of:
- Lewd acts on children under 12
- Custodial sex abuse
- Child molestation
- Statutory rape
- Possession or distribution of child pornography
- Internet solicitation of a minor
- Human trafficking
- Sex crimes at school
Police and law enforcement investigators are masters at the art of interrogation. They may lead you to believe that if the sex act was consensual, it does not constitute a crime. Since under-age people legally cannot give consent, a person can be tricked into admitting sexual conduct under the mistaken belief that consent is a defense.
If you have been contacted by the police or an investigator, you should not speak with them without the advice of an attorney. Even what you think is an innocent response can be used against you. Never meet with the police unless you have an attorney present.
Peter Aiken can advise you how to respond to police and investigators. He can also act immediately to begin building your defense. Call us before you talk to the police. Call Ft. Myers Office at 239-334-3506 or Sarasota Office at 941-366-3506.

Everyone assumes children in sex crimes cases are telling the truth. However, young children can be easily manipulated and led into making false or exaggerated claims of sexual abuse. In some cases, sex crime allegations are used to obtain custody. Peter Aiken will take a video deposition of the minor child and can work with a child psychologist or other experts to uncover the truth. Discrediting the accuser can have a dramatic and positive effect on a jury, should a sex crime trial be necessary.
You face the fight of your life. Peter Aiken will work relentlessly to defend your rights and preserve your freedom.
