A conviction for any one of these crimes will cause lasting damage to a person’s life, including: prison sentences, temporary or lifetime requirements of sex offender registration, long periods of counseling and heavy fines. Due to the rigorous requirements of sex offender registration, numerous individuals who are convicted of federal sex crimes find themselves in violation of their registration requirements and are brought back into court years after their sentences are completed.
With these consequences, you cannot afford to plead guilty without a fight. Having an experienced sexual assault lawyer on your side is crucial.
