Sex Crime Charges & Penalties in New York

A "sex crime" is typically a criminal offense that involves an unlawful or forced sex act, or criminal offense which is sexual in nature. There are numerous types of sex crimes which are unlawful under New York law and the state prosecutes offenders to the fullest extent of the law. If you have been charged with child molestation, you may face more than just imprisonment. You may lose custody of your children and be faced with future employment and housing difficulties. Social ostracism is also common in cases involving child pornography. Because child pornography often involves the internet and can be national or international in scope, the federal authorities will likely be involved. Child pornography and enticing or luring a minor are the most common internet sex crimes that occur.

If you have been charged with rape and subsequently convicted, you could face up to 25 years of imprisonment depending on the situation. Statutory rape charges can originate from sexual activity that was entirely consensual if one of the members involved was a minor. Sexual abuse charges of any kind are enough to ostracize a person if they are convicted. Take action now to build a strong defense against your charges with the help of a sex crime attorney. Our firm has experience in handling indecent exposure charges, solicitation charges and much more. Many serious sex crimes require mandatory sex offender registration, often for life. A failure to register as a sex offender is a serious criminal offense in itself, and a conviction of this kind may result in imprisonment and fines.

The social repercussions of a sex crime allegation or conviction alone are enough to warrant immediate defense. Add to this the possibility of lengthy imprisonment (possibly for life, in some cases) and it is easy to see why retaining legal counsel from an experienced attorney is so crucial in these situations. Our firm is proud to provide sex crime defense services to the communities of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan and Long Island.
