You Could Face Mandatory Sex Offender Registration
If you are being charged with having committed a sexual offense against a child, you will need serious legal representation from a skilled defense. One such sex crime is child molestation, which is when an adult uses a child for sexual stimulation or gratification.
This can include many forms of sexual abuse such as actual physical contact or the verbal saying of sexually suggestive things to a child—even if they are not acted upon. Additionally, exposing oneself to a child for sexual stimulation is yet another form of sexual child abuse.
Sexual child abuse is usually punishable with 3, 6, or 8 years in prison, depending upon the circumstances. You may be assessed monetary fines in the tens of thousands of dollars. Someone convicted of molestation will also be required to register as a sex offender, which can severely limit your future by limiting opportunities regarding housing, employment, and more.
Other forms of child sex crimes include the following:
- Child Pornography
- Child Prostitution
- Child Trafficking
- Luring Of A Minor
