Sex Offenses

Sex crimes are exceedingly serious and should only be handled by experienced attorneys. The collateral consequences are beyond comparison. If convicted, penalties typically include a term of imprisonment in the Department of Corrections and registration as a sex offender. If probation is granted, the terms are invasive and involve surrendering privacy to make your most intimate affairs available for inspection by the government. The most severe penalties include indeterminate terms of imprisonment. Convictions, or even simply accusations, are embarrassing and often destroy a person’s reputation. They can also attract unwanted media attention and public scrutiny.
