The consequences of sex crime charges are extremely serious. Especially in cases where the defendant is in a position of responsibility, the individual stands to lose everything. A sex crime conviction will almost always result in jail or prison time, probation and mandatory registration as a sex offender. It could destroy your career. If you are a law enforcement officer convicted of a sex offense, you can forget about ever getting a job in law enforcement again. If you’re a teacher and are convicted of sexual behavior with a student, you will not ever be allowed to work with children. You could lose your career and everything you have been working for your entire life.
