What Are the Challenges of Sex Crime Cases?
There are few criminal cases that lead to more public outrage than sex crimes. A person accused of sexual assault can find that their personal and business reputation suffers extensive damage, even prior to going to court. These cases can be extremely complex, and one person may claim that the sexual contact was consensual while the other claims that rape took place.
Examples of Sexual Offenses in California
We can defend clients involved in a variety of sexual offenses, including:
- Rape, including date rape, statutory rape, etc.
- Sexual assault and battery
- Indecent exposure
- Child pornography
- Child molestation
The consequences in sex crime cases, particularly in cases in which it is alleged that a sexual act took place with a minor, cases involving child pornography possession or distribution, are very, very serious.
Will I Be Forced to Register as a Sex Offender if Convicted?
If you are convicted, it is likely that you will be forced to register as a sex offender and your name, photo, address and the crime will be available to any person who chooses to look up sex offenders online.
Having to register as a sex offender can severely limit your housing and employment options, and require that you register each time you relocate. You may also be subject to unfair treatment from others in society, as being a registered sex offender can carry a heavy stigma.
