Being charged with any criminal offense can be stressful and overwhelming. Sexual offense crimes are often complicated and emotionally charged.

Punishment for a sex crime conviction can vary from lifelong imprisonment to probation. Conviction of any crime can have lasting effects on your freedom and rights.
