Most likely. The vast majority of sex crimes have, as a consequence of conviction, the requirement to register as a sex offender. The length of time you will have to comply with this registration requirement will depend on the severity of your offense; the most serious sex crimes such as aggravated sexual assault can result in lifetime obligations to register as a sex offender. Because sex offender registries are publicly accessible databases, having to register can seriously impact your ability to find employment, housing, or educational or financial opportunities since the databases do not provide much information about the circumstances of your underlying offense. Sex offender registration is a fact to consider when decisions are made as to how to resolve your case.
