Common Types of Sex Crimes & Penalties
You have rights. Our Marietta criminal defense attorney can protect them!
In Georgia, sex offenses are not treated leniently. Persons who have been
charged with
sex crimes not only have to worry about sex offender registration that could greatly
impact their future, they also have to protect against prison time, fines,
probation and other court mandated penalties. While there are varying
degrees of sex crimes, they can all greatly impact the life of the accused
without proper defense representation.
The Penalties of Sex Crime Convictions
Certain offenses that are more frequently identified in Georgia, include:
Misdemeanors:
- Indecent exposure
- Prostitution
- Pandering
- Sexual batter
Felonies:
- Rape
- Child molestation
- Possessing or selling child pornography
The associate penalties depend entirely on the type of offense, if the
accused has had previous run-ins with the law, and the age of other parties
involved. For example, prostitutes could face up to one year in jail and
up to $1,000 in fines. Someone who is a customer of a prostitute could
also be dealt the same hand and charged with a misdemeanor. If a person
is dealt charges for rape, they may be sentenced with anywhere from 10
years to a lifetime in prison. In some cases, the death penalty may even
be considered.
