Washington DC sex crimes defense

The District prosecutes sex offenses under the D.C. Code, and cases are heard in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The District is unusual in that adult criminal prosecutions are brought by the United States Attorney rather than by a locally elected prosecutor, which affects charging practice and the resources available to the prosecution.
