Sex Offense Registration
One of the gravest repercussions of a sex crimes conviction is having to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This affects where you live and work. Failure to register as a sex offender is considered a felony and carries serious potential consequences. In the juvenile court, there is a process to avoid registration. In criminal courts, there are actions you can take to limit the length of the sentence, depending on the ages of the parties involved.
