About Cases Involving Sexual Assault, Abuse & Internet Sex Crimes

A sex crime is an unlawful act involving sexual activity, usually by force, coercion or threat. Sex crimes can be either misdemeanors or felonies. These are serious offenses that can result in harsh penalties for a conviction. In addition to tough sentencing, anyone convicted of a sex crime is required to register as a sex offender. Under Megan's Law, a registered sex offender's residential information is made publicly available on the Internet.

Anyone facing sex crime charges should immediately contact a San Diego criminal defense attorney for legal assistance. These can be highly volatile cases, particularly if the alleged victim is a minor. A qualified attorney can ensure your rights are protected, and conduct an in-depth investigation into the charges to find any weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Anyone convicted of a sex crime faces possible imprisonment, as well as fines, restitution, mandatory counseling, probation and registration as a sex offender. Sex crimes include many different types of offenses such as:

• Molestation
• Rape
• Prostitution
• Solicitation
• Sexual abuse
• Lewd conduct
• Internet sex crimes
• Indecent exposure

Lewd conduct is an act designed to sexually arouse oneself or another person in the vicinity. Indecent exposure and other sexual activity that occurs in a public place often fall under this category.
