People who are charged with a sex crime, regardless of the nature, face harsh repercussions and fierce prosecution from California District Attorneys. Due to the negative stigma associated with most sex crimes, courts are less likely to dismiss charges and more likely to seek maximum punishments. These punishments can include jail time, fines, probation, court ordered counseling, and enlistment on the sex offender registry.

            Sex crimes tend to generate a lot of public attention, which can be traumatizing for alleged offenders and their families. Often times, sex crimes involve the word of one person against another. This can lead to speculation and misinformation. Without the aid of a skilled criminal defense attorney, alleged offenders may face unjustified stereotypes and consequences that will follow them all throughout their lives.
