Sex Crimes
A defendant charged with a sex crime is someone who has been charged with a sexual offense, including assault, rape, child molestation and/or pornography, and indecent exposure. Some sex crimes are violent crimes, involving sexual exploitation, while others are in the form of exhibitionism.
Upon accusation of such crimes, it is extremely important to contact a defense attorney to avoid making costly mistakes, such as prematurely giving information to friends or family, who may in turn be charged with criminal activity by their knowledge of your situation.
The consequences of being charged with a sex crime, or being labeled as a sex offender in Georgia, means more than simple prison time. Public places, employers, schools, etc. must be notified of your presence once there is a decision of guilt by the court system and you have been required to register as a sex offender.
