Sex Offenses / Rape / Molestation

What is a Sex Crime?

A sex crime is a sexual act that typically the victim does not want and does not consent to. The term “sex crime” or “sex offense” include serious offenses such as rape, attempted rape as well as any other criminal sexual act involving force or the threat of force. In a statutory rape charge, where the age of the victim is alleged to be under 18, consent to have sex by the victim is not a valid defense. Other sex crimes violate social taboos, such as incest or indecent exposure.

What are the consequences of a Sex Crime conviction?

Conviction of a sex crime usually results in a jail sentence. Those who are convicted of a sex crime are usually classified as “sex offenders” and are required to register with a database, such as California’s Sex Offender Tracking Program. Additional consequences may include restrictions on where you can live (i.e. a certain distance from schools), and requirements to provide your internet service provider, email account, and other online information to police authorities.

What are some defenses to a Sex Crime charge?

Possible defenses to a charge of a sex crime include allegations that the alleged victim had consented to the behavior.
