Sex crime offenses can be prosecuted either as a misdemeanor or felony crime. Anyone facing an accusation of a sexual related crime can expect to face an aggressive investigation by police detectives. Do not take these charges lightly, you will be facing a diligent prosecutor who will attempt to convict you. While any type of state or federal sex crime is considered a serious offense that can have devastating consequences to your future, sexual offenses involving children are considered the most severe.
Just an allegation that you may be involved in a sex offense can destroy your reputation and impact your relationships with family and friends. A conviction usually carries large fines, formal probation, imprisonment in a state or federal detention facility, and court-ordered counseling. In some sex crime convictions, you could be ordered to register as a sex offender. This requirement would make your daily life difficult and adversely affect your employment opportunities. Your personal information would be contained in convicted sex offender registries, such as Megan's Law. The information would include your name, address and other personal info that can be accessed by the police and anyone in public with access to the internet.
