What punishments can result from a sex offense?
Depending upon the specific sex crime you are charged with, you will either be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor sex crime conviction may result in a year or less of jail time, fines, community service, probation and counseling. A felony sex crime conviction could result in a lifetime prison term, or if not and you are later released, you might have to register as a sex offender, a label that will forever determine where you work and live.
