Sex Offenses
Criminal charges that can be considered sex offenses are a wide ranging variety of different charges and degrees of seriousness.
Charges that our attorneys regularly defend include:
- aggravated sexual assault
- date rape
- indecent assault
- indecent exposure
- lewdness / lewd and lascivious acts
- molestation
- online solicitation of a minor
- open and gross lewdness
- prostitution
- possession of child pornography
- sexual assault
- sexual battery
- sexual exploitation
- Sexual Imposition
- statutory rape
- solicitation
- rape
and many related offenses.
State laws vary across the country on penalties. Some of these charges, such as lewd and lascivious acts, indecent exposure, and prostitution/solicitation are usually considered misdemeanors in most states. However most sex crimes are felonies, which will result in prison time if you are found guilty.
But any criminal sexual offense will result in you being declared a sex offender, and you will be required to register with the local police. And your status as a registered sex offender will of course be public information and show up on any background check.
