Sex crimes are some of the most harshly viewed offenses, and they present a number of difficulties for individuals facing these charges. Due to the strong social views surrounding sex crimes, for example, accused individuals may face judgment and treatment before they’re ever tried or convicted of any wrongdoing. After convictions, the limitations and social consequences of being a sex offender can be extreme.

California penalizes sex offenders harshly, often with lengthy terms of imprisonment. Additionally, some sex crime convictions may require individuals to register as a sex offender with the California sex offender registry. This requires them to meet a number of registration and monitoring regulations and makes their information available to the public.
Sex offender registration is considered one of the toughest penalties associated with sex crimes, as it can create serious long-term barriers. Schools, landlords, employers, and neighbors can easily access this information. Skilled lawyers can work on defense strategies to fight against charges and possible sex offender registration.
