Consequences of a Sex Crime Conviction

Individuals convicted of sex crimes may face severe consequences. Some sentencing possibilities for those convicted of sex crimes are:

• Mandatory prison sentence upon conviction
• Life in prison without parole
• Mandatory registration with the police as a sex offender for at least 10 years (and up to life under some circumstances)
• Information made available to the public over the Internet
• Restrictions as to where a person can live, work, or even where the person is allowed to be present
• A non-citizen who is convicted of a sex offense can be deported and permanently prohibited from re-entry to this country.

Because the consequences of conviction are so severe, it is critical that anyone charged with a sex crime contact a lawyer immediately. A person charged with or even under investigation for a sex offense should seek advice from a criminal defense attorney before discussing the charges with anyone else. Anything you say to anyone other than your attorney can, and probably will, be used against you in court if you are charged with a sex offense.
