Sex Crime Allegations Can Change Everything, Fast
If you’re facing a sex crime accusation, you may be experiencing:
→ Fear about jail or prison time
→ Concern over mandatory registration requirements
→ Anxiety about your reputation or employment
→ Uncertainty about what you can or cannot say
→ Pressure from investigators or others to “explain yourself”
These cases often involve strong emotions, complex evidence, and high stakes. Early decisions, especially conversations with law enforcement, can have lasting consequences. Having legal guidance from the start can help protect your rights and your future.
What Qualifies as a Sex Crime Under California Law
California law defines sex crimes broadly, and charges may arise from allegations involving adults or minors. These cases often hinge on interpretation, credibility, and evidence.
Sex crime charges may include:
→ Sexual assault or battery
→ Rape or attempted rape
→ Lewd or lascivious acts
→ Sexual misconduct
→ Indecent exposure
→ Internet or digital-related offenses
→ Statutory or age-related allegations
→ Prostitution or solicitation of prostitution
Charges may be filed as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the circumstances, and penalties can vary widely based on the facts of the case.
Early Legal Representation Is Critical in Sex Crime Cases
Sex crime investigations often begin long before formal charges are filed. Statements made early, sometimes under pressure or without full information, can be difficult to undo.
Early legal representation allows your attorney to protect your constitutional rights, review the credibility and reliability of allegations, examine how evidence was obtained and handled, and help you avoid missteps that could harm your defense.
These cases require careful, strategic handling from the very beginning.
