 Sex Crimes

Sex crimes include pedophilia, child pornography, rape, sexual assault, incest and stalking. All are serious, especially crimes of violence that involve force or threat of force.

State and local authorities investigate and prosecute sex crimes. Federal investigators also get involved whenever the crimes involve multiple states.

Initial convictions for sex crimes can result in fines and prison sentences from a few years to life, depending on the offense. Punishments vary dramatically depending on the type of crime (i.e. sexual assault) and the level of charge (misdemeanor, such as peeking, or felony, such as violent rape). For example, Title 18 of the U.S. Code, § 2242, dictates up to 20 years in prison for a conviction of sexual abuse, while sex-related trafficking of children (§ 1591) can result in a life sentence, depending on the circumstances. The same is true for aggravated sexual abuse (§ 2241) – where force or threats of injury are used against the victim.

States are clamping down on sex offenders, as well. For example, Florida's 2005 sex offender law increases the mandatory sentences for certain predatory sex offenders in an attempt to make the law more punitive.

In light of the sensitivity of sex crimes, their potential sentences, and the permanently damaging stigma attached to sex crimes, early representation is a must for anyone facing such charges. Attorneys with experience defending sex crimes are obviously the best able to understand the charges and structure an effective defense. If you are facing federal charges, contact an experienced federal criminal defense attorney at Joffe & Joffe.
