About Sex Crime Cases in New York

New York Sex Crime Defense Lawyer

There are few criminal accusations more frightening than alleged sex crimes.  Just being accused can seriously damage your personal and professional reputation. There are many types of sex crimes, and each has a varying degree of penalties that can be imposed by the state if convicted.  The most common sex crimes are rape, statutory rape, child sex abuse, child pornography, and sexual assault.  Society shuns those that are convicted of sex crimes and it is an urgent matter that you have strong legal representation to defend you in court.  Any such allegation must be met with aggressive legal counsel from a New York sex crime defense attorney from the firm.

Sex Crime Punishments

Sex crime punishments depend upon the type of crime committed and the severity of the crime.  When a person is convicted of a sex crime, they can face punishments such as long term incarceration, court ordered rehabilitation, monetary fines, community service, and probation.   A person who is convicted of a sex crime is labeled as a "sex offender".  Convicted sex offenders are required to list their name on the New York Sex Offender Registry.  If a person's name is on the sex offender registry, they may have limited employment and housing options, as future landlords and employers often do background checks on potential employees or tenants.  There are restrictions about where one can live, and your photo as well as address will be available for anyone who chooses to look on the publicly accessed websites that became common after Megan's Law.
