Consequences of a Sex Crimes Conviction
Being convicted pf a sexual-related offense can have devastating consequences on many areas of your professional and personal life:
- Mandatory registration as a sex offender: When convicted of most sex crimes it is mandatory to register as a sex offender. This registry is a public record and anyone can view it and see that you have been convicted of a sex crime. In addition, a registered sex offender's residential information is a matter of public record.
- Job & housing difficulties: Having a sex crime conviction can limit your job and housing opportunities because employers and landlords are reluctant to take risks when hiring individuals with criminal records. If you are on the registry, you are also not allowed to live or be near certain areas with children, such as schools and parks.
- Negative effect on custody cases: We have unfortunately seen in our years of experience that people too often falsely accuse spouses and exes of sex crimes. Children are sometimes convinced to lie in order to seek some kind of revenge for a break-up. This can have devastating and tragic results.
We understand what is at stake when facing sexual charges. Our attorneys are ready to put our decades of experience defending sex crimes on your side.
