Facing A Sex Crime Charge
In sex crimes such as rape, statutory rape or sexual assault, there can be a lot of “he said, she said.” Consent is defined by the law in a very particular way. Instead of seeking answers from friends and other non-professionals, it’s much better to speak with a lawyer who can explain how the law defines consent or the act of lawfully giving consent.
It’s extremely important that you have an attorney to guide you through the process as you may be tempted to agree to a deal or comply with police officers or prosecutors, thinking you will be doing yourself a favor or presenting yourself in a good light. Because every case is different, you need a highly skilled criminal law attorney to examine all the circumstantial issues in the case before you surrender your rights and freedoms.
It’s common for people convicted of sex crimes to be required to register as a sex offender. Sex offender registration is a public record stating that you were convicted of a sex crime. Your sex offender record will include your home address and other personal information. Sex offender registration very often has a lifelong effect on future opportunities and carries tremendous social stigma. Any individual who searches for sex offenders in a particular area of the state can view your picture as well as your personal information.
Immediately after being convicted of such a crime you are often required to register as a sex offender with your local law enforcement agency. The court notifies the agency which then monitors you. You will be required to update your information every year and report recent moves or employment changes.
When you are convicted of a sex offense many important rights may be in jeopardy.
The ability to vote
Ability to obtain a passport or a visa for entry into certain countries
Convicts are included in police line-ups as a potential suspect
Loss of eligibility to apply for financial aid for college
Inability to get security clearance for certain professions such as teaching, working with children, or security
Parenting rights can be taken away, including custody and visitation rights
Loss of 2nd Amendment right to legally obtain or possess firearms
