Significant Penalties For Sex Offenses

For the most part, sex crimes carry severe penalties, including jail or prison time, steep fines, or both. The most serious sex crimes are categorized as Measure 11 offenses, meaning they carry a minimum prison sentence without the possibility of parole or early release. Additionally, the reputation of the accused is damaged, and convicted individuals are required to add their names to a sex offender registry. In many cases, the registry follows you around and negatively impacts your housing and employment options. Convicted sex offenders may lose any child custody or visitation rights they previously had.

Due to the intimate nature of sex crimes, it can be very difficult for the prosecution to prove guilt. However, they will work hard to present enough evidence to suggest the crime occurred.
