LeavenLaw has Represented Clients Since 1972

Sex crimes are any criminal offenses related to illegal sexual acts or sexual abuse. This can range from indecent exposure all the way to forcible rape. No sex crime charge is minor – even the slightest accusation could lead to mandatory registration as a sex offender, a requirement that will ruin a person’s lifestyle and reputation, not to mention their future employment and financial opportunities.

A sex crime accusation alone could lead to a ruined reputation, even when the charges are without merit. Many supposed victims of sex crimes will bring up an unfounded accusation due to jealousy, anger or revenge. That is why retaining a criminal defense lawyer immediately is essential. It is the job of your attorney to expose such intentions and clear your name.

Types of Sex Crimes

All charges carry a mandatory registration as a sex offender and can include fines and prison sentences ranging from only a few months to 25 years or more, depending on the severity of the charge and whether it is a multiple offense.

Sex crimes can include a variety of offenses, including:

• Sexual abuse
• Rape
• Indecent exposure
• Lewd and lascivious conduct
• Prostitution
• Child molestation
• Statutory rape
