What Is A Sex Crime?

Sex crimes are specifically defined by Pennsylvania and New Jersey statutes. The definitions, often graphic, detail various body parts. The age of the victim is sometimes material. Whether force was used and what type of force are also parts of the statutes.

• Penalties. There are severe penalties for sex crime convictions including incarceration, and restitution. Even if you’re found not guilty, there may always be suspicion. Additionally, if you are found guilty of a sex crime you will have to comply with Megan’s law.
  • Megan’s law – A sex crime offender may have to continually (for the remainder of his life) comply with Megan’s law and will forever be listed on the state’s (New Jersey or Pennsylvania) Internet Sex Offender Registry. The law requires the state (police) to create a registry of people who reside, work or attend school in the state and who have been convicted or pled guilty to a sex crime or have been adjudicated delinquent. The registry is designed for the Internet but the information may also be available through the press.
• Factors that affect sex crime penalties:
  • Whether force was used
  • Whether others were involved including children
  • The age of victim can be a factor. For example, in statutory rape cases, children under 13, between 13 and 16 and over 16 are viewed differently.
  • The number and types of prior offenses
  • Knowledge that the person charged had HIV or AIDS

What Defenses And Options Are Available In Sex Crime Cases?

Each type of sex crime and each case has its own set of defenses. For example, in some cases consent may be an issue, in other cases, it won’t help. Physical evidence such as DNA may exonerate you. In most sex crime cases, an experienced criminal defense lawyer, such as our lawyers at Garber Law, P.C., will seek to challenge the basis for the arrest.
