Austin Sex Crime Lawyer
Sex Crimes
When people hear that a person was arrested for “sex crimes”, most immediately think “rape”. However, crimes of a sexual nature include a broad range of activities. Because all of these crimes are vigorously prosecuted, it is necessary to retain the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
The following is a list of sex crimes commonly prosecuted in Texas. While this list is rather lengthy, these are not the only sex crimes recognized by the state.
- Child Exploitation
- Date Rape
- Rape
- Sexual Battery
- Child Molestation
- Indecent Exposure
- Statutory Rape
- Prostitution
- Child Pornography
- Lewd and Lascivious Behavior
- Sexual Assault
- Solicitation of Prostitution
Depending on the crime, the consequences are more or less severe. Being convicted of child molestation carries with it more than just a jail sentence. The same goes for rape. For many of these crimes, it is a requirement that the offender register with a state agency that will then notify all of a person’s neighbors of the presence of a sexual offender. These crimes do not just go away with time. It is imperative to retain an experienced Austin Criminal Defense Attorney to fight these charges and maintain your good name.
