Facing a Sex Crime Charge

Some sex crimes are misdemeanors, while others are very serious felony charges that can carry long prison sentences. Misdemeanor sex crime convictions are typically punished with a year or so in jail, along with fines, probation, mandatory counseling, community service and testing for AIDS or other STDs. Felony sex crime convictions can carry a wide variety of prison possibilities, usually depending on the crime itself, the nature of the offense, the victim, any previous history of criminal sexual activity by the defendant, and other circumstances. A violent sexual assault can carry a sentence of twenty-five years or more. Regardless of the offense, sexual offenders that are convicted of a sex crime will typically be required to register with the sex offender’s registry. This is a state and national database of information on sexual offenders that can be accessed by the general public. If you are convicted of a sex crime and required to register as a sex offender, you may have to remain on the registry for life. Under limited circumstances, your Long Island sex crimes lawyer can work with the courts to have a sex crime conviction expunged from your record and/or a ruling that you do not have to remain on the registry.
