Sex Offenses
Sex offenses include all types of criminal sexual activity, such as indecent exposure, lewd conduct, rape, date rape, statutory rape, lewd acts with a child, possession or distribution of child pornography, solicitation or engaging in prostitution, sexual assault/battery, and child molestation. These are serious crimes, most of which are charged as felonies. The decision of how the crime is charged is made by the prosecutor on the case.
Many felony sex offenses are punishable by maximum prison sentences of 8 years for each act committed and include sex offender registration. Failure to register as a sex offender where required by law is also a separate sex offense. Sex offender registration is accessible to the public, meaning that your future neighbors, employers, and others can access the information concerning your conviction, which can seriously impact your ability to find housing, employment, and more. Because of the severe consequences involved in a sex offense conviction, your case should be handled by an attorney who knows his way around a courtroom and who has a proven track record in criminal defense.
