Sex Crimes Lawyer

Criminal acts of a sexual nature, also known as “sex crimes,” are punished harshly in most jurisdictions within the United States.

Those convicted of these types of crimes can face serious penalties and must typically register as a “sex offender” following conviction. Additionally, the stigma associated with being a registered sex offender can gravely impact a person in lasting ways.

If you are facing a potential criminal charge or conviction of a sex crime, you have the legal right to receive assistance from legal counsel during the course of your case and in your court hearing.

Criminal Convictions Requiring Registration as a Sex Offender

In Minnesota, those convicted of a sex crime may be required to register as a “predatory offender,” as provided under § 244.052 of the Minnesota Statutes. Some common examples of criminal charges which may require the offender to register as a “predatory offender” include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual conduct
  • Indecent exposure, which constitutes a felony offense
  • False imprisonment of a minor child

Consequences and Penalties for Sex Crimes in Minnesota

In addition to being required to register as a sex offender, there are several other types of penalties that those charged with committing a sex crime could face. The type and severity of these penalties will vary depending on the severity of the sex crime, the party against whom it was committed, and whether it is a repeat offense. A detail-oriented Minnesota sex crimes attorney could examine an accused person’s situation to determine if this penalty is applicable in their case.
